On Episode 163 of Floating Through Film, we're starting a new series picked by Dany, Satyajit Ray! The guys give their thoughts on what they think of Ray, before Dany starts the series by talking about the Indian aesthetic concept of 'Rasa' and what it means in relation to Ray's approach in the Apu Trilogy. We then review all three movies of the trilogy, starting with 1955's Pather Panchali (25:03), moving to 1956's Aparajito (1:34:34), before concluding with 1959's Apur Sansar (2:20:33)

On Episode 162 of Floating Through Film, we're trying something new by discussing our first non-film, Bazin's seminal essay, 'Ontology of the Photographic Image'! We then shift from Bazin's essay on the evolution of the image to a film from one of the early innovators of cinema, D.W. Griffith's 1919 film Broken Blossoms (36:37). We hope you enjoy!
