A scene from “Rupantar”
Bangladeshi director Abu Sayeed's latest film "Rupantor" is among 14 entries selected for the competition section of 13th International Film Festival of Kerala to be held in Thiruvananthapuram from December 12 to 19.
The announcement was made by Kerala Culture Minister M.A. Baby at a press conference on October 20 when he released the list of films to be screened at the competitive and other sections of the weeklong prestigious annual event.
For Sayeed, India has been a happy hunting ground as his previous work "Nirontor" had won a special jury award at the International Film Festival of India in Goa two years ago and another award at the Kerala festival soon after that.
Among other movies in the competitive section at the forthcoming festival in Kerala are "Firaaq" which marks directorial debut of critically-acclaimed Indian actress Nandita Das, "Gulabi Talkies" by veteran national award-winning Indian director Girish Kasaravally, "Hafe" (Iran/Japan), "My Marlon and Brando" (Turkey), "Dreams of Dust" (France/Canada), "Fire Keeper" (Iran) and "Machan" (Sri Lanka).
