Yesterday, the Film Heritage Foundation shared a carousel of images on Instagram, where German filmmaker Wim Wenders was seen visiting Satyajit Ray’s house in Kolkata.<\/p>\n

To those unaware, Wim Wenders is currently on a month-long, five-city India tour called King of the Road – India Tour. The tour began on February 16, 2025, and will end on February 23, 2025.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wim Wenders met Satyajit Ray’s son Sandip Ray, and veteran Bengali actress Madhabi Mukherjee, who had worked with Ray in films like Mahanagar<\/em>\u00a0(1963),\u00a0Charulata<\/em>\u00a0(1964), and\u00a0Kapurush<\/em>\u00a0(1965).<\/p>\n

The caption of the post read, “It was a very special moment during the Kolkata leg of the King of the Road – The India Tour when Wim Wenders visited Satyajit Ray’s home with FHF Director Shivendra Singh Dungarpur and met Satyajit Ray’s son, Sandip Ray. Wim Wenders’ presence at Ray’s home was a tribute to the timeless influence of Ray’s work, as well as a testament to the power of cinema to bring people together across time and borders.”<\/p>\n

Shivendra Singh Dungarpur who is the director of the Film Heritage Foundation, shared on X, that Sandip Ray had also found a letter that Wim Wenders had written to Satyajit Ray.<\/p>\n
