Answer 1

Answer:

A French-Canadian priest, Gaston Roberge’s association with Satyajit Ray made a remarkable contribution to Indian film. Roberge was attracted to the works of Ray through Apu triology. In his book, “Satyajit Ray Essays: 1970-2005’ Roberge provides a scholarly analysis.

After watching Ray’s movies Roberge came to Calcutta and met him. Their friendship lasted (22 years), till the death of Ray. He says “Ray took off where Tagore signed out”. Ray was the icon of Indian film at that moment. Both spent a lot on film discussions. ‘Chitrabani’, a communication and film institute was one of the out puts of their friendship.
