Farooki Joining Hands with Star Cineplex

Filmmaker Mostafa Sarwar Farooki will soon be joining hands with Star Cineplex to produce his next film “Television”. Star Cineplex and Farooki's own production house Chhobial will jointly produce it.
Two international producers [from Germany and France] are set join the project as co-producers. Farooki is going to Berlin and Paris later this month to finalise the deal with the international producers. The filmmaker sees the deal as a step ahead for Bangladeshi cinema in the international arena.
“Working with international producers will likely open a door for Bangladeshi films to the global movie market,” said the filmmaker.
Farooki also informed that both the international producers are well recognised and their productions have been screened at prestigious film festivals such as Cannes, Berlin and Venice.
“Television” will be Farooki's fourth feature film. The film will highlight rural characters rather than urbanites -- Farooki's preferred theme so far. The filmmaker also informed that Habib Wahid and Hridoy Khan will work as music directors for the film. Shooting will likely start this July, according to the director.
It should be mentioned that “Television” received the Asian Cinema Fund award for script development at the last Pusan Film Festival. It was also selected as an official project of Pusan Promotion Plan 2010 [recently renamed as Asian Project Market] and Film Bazaar India 2010.
Farooki's other films are “Batchelor”, “Mad_e in Bangladesh” and “Third Person Singular Number”.
