Ted Mann Theater
Teen Kanya

Conceived as a trilogy to honor the centenary of the birth of writer Rabindranath Tagore, Teen Kanya features: The Postmaster, a rural fable about what happens when a mailman from Calcutta sets up shop in a remote, monsoon-slashed village; Monihara, in which a woman becomes fixated on not parting with her precious jewels, even when tragedy strikes; and the closing chapter Samapti, a raucous tale about arranged marriage between urbane lawyer Amulya (Soumitra Chatterjee) and tomboy Mrinmoyee (future director Aparna Sen in an early acting role). 

Please note: We will be screening the international version of the film, which only has two of its intended chapters, followed by the chapter that was cut for this release: Monihara (The Lost Jewels). Director: Satyajit Ray. Cast: Anil Chatterjee, Chandana Bannerjee, Kanika Majumdar, Soumitra... Chatterjee. 1961. 160 minutes. India. B&W. Bengali. 35mm. 

Teen Kanya Restored by the Satyajit Ray Preservation Project through a collaboration of the Academy Film Archive, the Merchant-Ivory Foundation, the Film Foundation, and the Packard Humanities Institute.
