Two, 1964 Production: Esso World Theatre Story,Screenplay, Music and Direction: Satyajit Ray Photography: Soumendu Roy Art Director: Bansi Chandragupta Editing: Dulal Dutta Sound: Sujit Sarkar Duration: 16 mins. B&W Cast: Ravi Kiran.         The Story Wearing a Mickey Mouse cap and a bottle of Coke in hand, a boy from a rich and Westernized family of Calcutta in the mid 60s.   This short film shows an encounter, through a series of games, between a street child from the shantytowns and a child of a rich family, stationed at his window. The film has no dialogue and the action moves through the attempts at one-upmanship evident in their successive display of their toys. Their rivalry (a kite shot down by a toy rifle, for example) concludes with the opposition between the world of noise (the toys inside the house) and that of music (the street child's flute).
