Amader Chhabi Tahader Chhabi is the Bangla translation of Our Films, Their Films. This book is co-published with Ananda Publishers.
This book brings together Satyajit Ray’s major writings and talks on film makers, and presents them in two sections. ‘Our Films’ is devoted mainly to his own experiences and contains many interesting anecdotes, but also has observations to offer on trends in Indian films. ‘Their Films’ deals with some films abroad that have become landmarks in the history of cinema—from the silent era to the present day and offers glimpses of great directors like Renoir, John Ford, Kurosawa and Charlie Chaplin, who are Ray’s personal favourites.
