Swiss Film Festival in Chittagong

The Embassy of Switzerland in Bangladesh, in cooperation with the Alliance Française de Chittagong, is organising a Swiss Film Festival on November 28-29 in the port city. Four Swiss feature films will be presented at the Alliance Française auditorium in Panchlaish, says a press release.
The Ambassador of Switzerland to Bangladesh, Dr. Urs Herren, will inaugurate the film festival today at 6:15 pm. The film festival is part of a series of events being organised by the Embassy of Switzerland to celebrate 40 years of Switzerland-Bangladesh bilateral relations. The festival intends to present Swiss films to the well-informed audience of Chittagong.
Earlier in March, a Swiss Film Festival was held in Dhaka.
The opening film of the festival, “Henry Dunant -- du Rouge sur la Croix” (“Henry Dunant -- Red on the Cross”), depicts the struggle for peace led by Henry Dunant, the founder of Red Cross and Red Crescent movements. The film will be screened today at 6:30 pm.
On the second day (November 29) of the film festival, three Swiss films will be screened. “Madly in Love” is the story of a young Tamil, raised in Switzerland, who falls madly in love with a Swiss woman just days before his traditional wedding arranged by his father.
The third movie of the festival, “Die Schweizermacher” (“The Swissmakers“), is a satire portraying the lives of two Swiss policemen who are entrusted with the delicate task of inspecting foreigners who apply for Swiss citizenship.
In “Tandoori Love”, the concluding movie of the festival, Sonja, a waitress who is engaged to her boss Markus, falls in love with an Indian chef named Rajah and faces the difficult task of choosing between marriage and adventure. “Madly in Love”, “The Swissmakers“, and “Tandoori Love” will be screened on November 29 respectively at 2 pm, 4 pm and 6 pm at the Alliance Française auditorium in Chittagong.
The film festival is open for all; no entry pass is required.
