'''Mrinal Sen''' (also spelled ''Mrinal Shen''; 14 May 1923 – 30 December 2018) was an Indian [[film director]] and a nominated Member of the Indian parliament. Sen directed films primarily in [[Bengali language|Bengali]] and [[Hindi]]. Along with his contemporaries [[Ritwik Ghatak]], [[Tapan Sinha]] and [[Satyajit Ray]] he pioneered the New Wave cinema in India. He has received multiple awards, including 18 [[National Film Awards]]. The Government of India has awarded him the [[Padma Bhushan]], and the Government of France has awarded him the [[Ordre des Arts et des Lettres]], while Russian Government awarded him [[Order of Friendship]]. Sen was also awarded the [[Dadasaheb Phalke Award]]. He was the only Indian filmmaker along with [[Satyajit Ray]] whose films have been awarded at the big three film festivals namely the [[Cannes film festival]], [[Venice Film Festival]] and the [[Berlin Film Festival]].<ref name=rediff>{{cite web |url=http://us.rediff.com/movies/2005/feb/02mrinal.htm |title= Memories from Mrinalda|date=1 February 2005 |work=Rediff |publisher= Rediff.com|access-date=27 January 2010}}</ref><ref>http://www.festival-cannes.com/en/artist/mrinal-sen</ref> Sen was a self described "private [[Marxist]]".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.thestatesman.com/entertainment/mrinal-sen-accidental-filmmaker-1502720904.html#:~:text=While%20studying%20in%20college%2C%20Mrinal,called%20himself%20a%20'private%20Marxist'&text=Mrinal%20Sen%20has%20often%20been%20called%20the%20%E2%80%9Caccidental%20filmmaker%E2%80%9D. |title=Mrinal Sen — the 'accidental filmmaker'|author=Tuhina Mondol |date=31 December 2018|work=[[The Statesman (India)|The Statesman]] |access-date=27 January 2020}}</ref>

==Influence==
After making five more films, he made a film with a shoestring budget provided by the [[Government of India]]. This film, ''[[Bhuvan Shome]]'' (''Mr. Shome'', 1969), finally launched him as a major filmmaker, both nationally and internationally. ''Bhuvan Shome'' also initiated the "New Cinema" film movement in India.<ref name=newcinema>{{cite book |title= The New Indian Cinema |last= Vasudev|first= Aruna|year= 1986|publisher=Macmillan India |isbn=0-333-90928-3 }}</ref>

===Social context and its political influence===
The films that he made next were essentially political, and earned him the reputation as a [[Marxist]] artist.<ref name=thorval>{{cite book |title= Cinemas of India|last=Thorval |first= Yves|year=2000 |publisher=Macmillan India|isbn= 0-333-93410-5|pages= 280–282}}</ref> This was also the time of large-scale political unrest throughout [[India]]. Particularly in and around Calcutta, this period underwent what is now known as the [[Naxalite]] movement. This phase was immediately followed by a series of films where he shifted his focus, and instead of looking for enemies outside, he looked for the enemy within his own [[middle class]] society. This was arguably his most creative phase.

===Depiction of Kolkata===
In many Mrinal Sen movies from ''Punascha'' (1961) to ''Mahaprithivi'' (1992), Kolkata features prominently. He has shown Kolkata as a character, and as an inspiration. He has beautifully woven the people, value system, class difference and the roads of the city into his movies and coming of age for Kolkata, his El-Dorado.<ref>{{cite web|title=Mrinal Sen movies and Kolkata|url=http://www.gomolo.in/features/article.aspx?ArticleID=249|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100116065658/http://www.gomolo.in/features/article.aspx?ArticleID=249|archive-date=16 January 2010}}</ref>
