Kolkata: Four films based on the works of Satyajit Ray, including the maestro-directed Goopey Gyne Bagha Byne, have been screened at 20 city schools to revive interest among today's children about Bengali films inspired by literature.
Called Ishkule Bioscope (films in schools), the initiative is aimed at creating awareness about Bengali cinema, Banibrata Banerjee said on behalf of the organisers. The closing ceremony was held at Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute (SRFTI) today where select students, chosen city schools through quiz contests, turned up and enjoyed Sandip Ray-directed Badshahi Angti, based on Satyajit Ray's popular detective fiction on Feluda.
Director Ringo Banerjee and some actors were present at the screening.
Apart from Goopey Gyne Bagha Byne, Sandip Ray directed Feluda movies Royal Bengal Rahasya and Gorosthane Sabdhan were screened in 20 city schools during the past one month, Banerjee said.
The films were screened after class hours, followed by a quiz.
