Bangladeshi film ‘Anyadin…’ invited to New York’s Museum of the Moving Image

Every year, Museum of the Moving Image (MoMI) in New York organises a festival titled, 'First Look',  where they introduce audiences to formally inventive works (fiction, documentary, short, or hybrid). This year, noted Bangladeshi filmmaker Kamar Ahmad Simon's "Anyadin…" (Day after…) has secured a place in the prestigious list of 38 films from 30 countries.

The in-person festival will run from March 16 to 20 at MoMI in Astoria, Queens.  

Last year, "Anyadin…" had its world premiere in Tuschinski theatre in Amsterdam as part of the international competition of International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA). 

The movie was amongst the few films for which Eric Hynes, the New York-based film critic and curator of MoMI, visited Amsterdam to host the after-screening talks.

"Anyadin…" is the second film of Simon's 'Water Trilogy'. The first of it, "Shunte Ki Pao! (Are You Listening!), has been screened as the opening film of prominent festivals like Locarno Open Doors and Doc-Leipzig.
