'Doob' to debut in London and Munich

One year after its premiere, Mostofa Sarwar Farooki's Doob (No Bed of Roses) is still holding strong in the festival circuit. This month it was in Seattle International Film Festival's official selection. The festival programme note heaped heavy praise on the film: “No Bed of Roses is not only visually beautiful, but is also filled with multiple subtleties expressed through refined moments of silence and distilled colors. Farooki once again utilizes his masterful skills as filmmaker to explore themes of individual frailty that'll leave audiences breathless and mesmerized.”

After Seattle, the film has been selected for Munich International Film Festival 2018, which will run from June 28 to July 7. Before that, the film will be presented at the London Indian Film Festival on June 24. Both Nusrat Imrose Tisha and Mostofa Sarwar Farooki will be present at the screening and join the audience for a Q&A session. There will be another screening in Birmingham on the 25th. From there, the couple will travel to Germany to attend the Munich International Film Festival, where the film will be presented on July 4.
