Entertainment Desk :
For the first time ever, three Bangladeshi films – Abdullah Mohammad Saad’s Rehana Maryam Noor, Mostofa Sarwar Farooki’s
No Land’s Man and Mohammad Rabby Mridh’s Paayer Tolay Mati Nai, have been selected to be showcased at the prestigious 26th Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) 2021. The selection of the film Paayer Tolay Mati Nai (No Ground Beneath the Feet) was confirmed on Wednesday, which will be screened on October 7, 8, and 13 in the A Window on Asian Cinema section
of the festival. Scheduled to be run from October 8 to 15, this year’s
festival has enlisted these films as part of its A Window on Asian Cinema section, where Farooki’s upcoming movie No Land’s Man, has been nominated for the Kim Jiseok Award. “What stands out
is the selection of three films from Bangladeshi cinema, which has been considered until now to be on the cinematic periphery,” the BIFF website highlighted Bangladesh’s history-making participation
at this year’s festival.
Produced by acclaimed director-producer Abu Shahed Emon, Paayer Tolay Mati Nai is presented by Box Office and Golpo Rajjo films, and
the film is co-produced by Impress Telefilm Limited and Batayan Productions.
Mir Mokarram Hossain is the executive producer of the film, alongside its co-producers Faridur Reza Sagar, Managing Director of Impress Telefilm and Tahrima
Khan, Batayan Productions.
