Ray on CD Rom

Apart from shooting for his tele-serial Satyajiter Gappo, based on his father Satyajit Ray8216;s short stories, Sandip Ray is engaged in another monumental task these days. To put the entire work of his father on CD. And this includes not only the great filmmaker8217;s short stories, novels, science fiction, letters and essays but also film scripts which won him national and international accolades.

quot;It8217;s a Herculean task involving a lot of time, money and energy but I am getting support from different people and organisations,8221; says Ray junior. He was particularly helped in this regard by the Ray Society, formed to preserve the maestro8217;s extensive work. The society, he says, has among other things undertaken the task of restoring a few films whose prints got damaged. That indeed is good news for all connoisseurs of Ray films. May their tribe increase.
