The Vision of Ray is virtually an album of Satyajit Ray’s cine-posters and other artworks exclusively related to his films. Ray made 28 feature films, five documentaries and two short films. He is perhaps the only film director in the world who designed all the promotional materials of his films. All these materials–posters, pre-shooting sketches, billboards, drawings, lobby cards, leaflets, handbills, glass slides, logos, memorabilia–are from the rare collection of Parimal Ray who was close to Ray. There are some from Ray’s son, Sandip Ray, who is also a renowned film director and who, like his father, has designed by himself all the promotional materials of the five films he has made so far. In the publication point of view, The Vision of Ray is unique in India, if not abroad, brought out by Pratikshan, a front-ranking publishing house based in Kolkata in association with Sahara India Pariwar.
