Days and Nights in the Forest (Aranyer Din Ratri) is a Bengali gem by the legendary director Satyajit Ray. Based on a novel by Sunil Gangopadhyay, Ray’s adaptation offers a nuanced and introspective portrayal of post-colonial urban India. Through the lens of four young men seeking a temporary escape in the forests of Palamau, the film subtly unravels the complexities of class-consciousness, gender relations, and the enduring weight of tradition in a rapidly changing society. Long unseen and difficult to access, the film was restored in 4K in 2025 by The Film Foundation’s World Cinema Project and the Film Heritage Foundation.*DCP courtesy of Janus Films. This screening was made possible by the University of Minnesota Imagine Fund and the Institute for Global Studies.
This screening will be introduced by Prof. Keya Ganguly (Cultural Studies & Comp Lit, UMN).
