Cinemaazi remembers Subrata Mitra on his birth anniversary
12 Oct 1930
A pioneering figure in the history of cinematography in India, Subrata Mitra's work is considered nothing short of foundational. In this translated interview from Chitrabash, April-December 1980, Subrata Mitra recounts his early years as a film enthusiast and rookie cinematographer, including some memorable anecdotes about the many difficulties of shooting one of the greatest films of all time (Pather Panchali) with little to no prior experience. Today is his birth anniversary.
