Film Screening: APARAJITO On Dallas in July 16th 2017

Aparajito picks up where Pather Panchali left off, with Apu and his family having moved away from the country to live in the bustling holy city of Varanasi. As Apu progresses from wide-eyed child to intellectually curious teenager, we witness his academic and moral education, as well as the growing complexity of his relationship with his mother. This expressive, often heartwrenching film won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. Though having seen Pather Panchali will deepen your experience, it isn’t a necessary prerequisite to seeing Aparajito. Original music by Ravi Shankar.
