Nitin Sawhney presents 'Pather Panchali'

The DJ/musician will present the film as part of Time Out and the Curzon Soho's My Favourite Film series.

Jan  8 2007

The latest My Favourite Film event has been announced, with Nitin Sawhney presenting a very special screening of the brilliant 'Pather Panchali' at the Curzon Soho cinema.

The incomparable songwriter, producer, DJ and cultural pioneer will introduce the critically acclaimed first part of Satyajit Ray's ground-breaking 'Apu Trilogy' at 1pm on Sunday, January 28.

A detailed account of life in a Bengal village as seen through the eyes of young Apu, it was one of the first Indian films to find success in the West when it was released in 1955, and Time Out called it 'a hymn to curiosity, courage and conscience', and a 'masterpiece'.

Tickets for this very special event are £6.50 and available from the Curzon Soho website here.

    Beautifully naturalistic acting, a patient unfolding of a human story, and a poignant and memorable soundtrack. Posted on Jan 29 2007 15:01
