LITTLE FILM SOCIETY
Final Programme For Year
“The World of Apu,” the long-awaited concluding part of Satyajit Ray’s rich and extraordinary Bengali triology, will be shown by the Little Film Society at the Museum Theatre tomorrow evening on its final programme for the year. “Father Panchali” was shown commercially in Christchurch in 1961, and “Aparajito,” the second part, by the society two years later. Though a sequel “The World of Apu” is a selfcontained story, with the central character the young man Apu (Soumitra Chatterjee), now an orphan, who was one of the children of the family in “Father Panchali.” “The World of Apu” has the same universal human appeal of its predecessors with many sequences of great artistic beauty. Music is by Ravi Shankar.
The first half includes “My Financial Career,” in which a typically wry tale by Stephen Leacock is translated into cartoon terms, “Norman McLaren’s Opening Speech,” in which the artist himself appears in a brief but hilarious adventure with a microphone at the opening of the Montreal Film Festival, and “Sarongs and Silver,” a superb film in colour from the Malaysian Film Unit.
