As Netflix prepares to launch 'Ray', a four-part series based on short stories written by Satyajit Ray adapted for the screen, we revisit what some legendary filmmakers across the globe had to say about his work.

Casting first-time actors, children and even people from her native village, Rima Das has completely changed the way we look at filmmaking.

“I was 10 years old when I first came across a television. The first time I saw a film was when one night, a rich family in the village hired a television and screened a film. Growing up, I loved writing and telling stories, although even as a teenager, I never thought that one day I'd make a film,” says Dominic Sangma.

Rima moved to Mumbai with aspirations of becoming an actor. But as luck would have it, she ended up directing ‘Man with the binoculars: Antardrishti’, her first feature film, which was released in 2016.

Four National Award-winning regional films have been hand-picked for screening by the official Indian delegation heading to Cannes 2018. Have you seen these amazing movies yet?
