Something like Cinema- Exploring Ray” – is a documentary film that explores various influences that had shaped the filmmaking craft of Satyajit Ray. The influences, borne out of his meeting with a number of gifted individuals and his experiences of an array of perception-altering incidents had moulded his aesthetic sensibilities and had made him what he was. This film attempts to capture all these influences that had imparted alchemic touches to turn him into an auteur of impeccable standing. It explores the aesthetic psyche of Ray that relates his images with his cinematic experiences.
