When he participated in yesterday’s SAJA webcast about the Satyajit Ray retrospective that opens today at Lincoln Center, Richard Pena, Program Director for the Film Society, mentioned something in a throwaway comment that just warmed my heart to no end: the Film Society at Lincoln Center will be holding a tribute to Guru Dutt this coming fall, as part of the annual New York Film Festival.
What a treat that will be, to see Dutt’s work up on the big screen, right in the heart of Manhattan…
Can’t wait!
Guru Dutt is one my fav Indian Auteur but its sad that we might never see his retrospective in India or even Ray until some big festival plans to have them.
