‘Rehana Maryam Noor’, directed by Abdullah Mohammad Saad, has won the New Talent Award at Hong Kong Asian film Festival.
The executive producer of the film, Ehsanul Haque Babu has confirmed the news to The Business Post on Monday.
“Claustrophobic with its bluish hues and immersive in its camerawork, Saad concocts a discomfiting cinematic powder keg that explores the enraging abuse perpetrated by sexist men, and also how the single-minded pursuit of justice can lead us into darkness,” reads an excerpt shared by the official website of the Hong Kong Asian film Festival.
‘Rehana Maryam Noor’s storyline narrates the tale of the eponymous private medical college teacher who becomes the witness to an unexpected incident while leaving the college one day. Being awestruck with the incident, Rehana starts to protest against the incident and the patriarchal system, as the story moves forward.
‘Rehana Maryam Noor’ has already received a lot of positive feedback from critics and audiences all around the world.
The film has also made its entry into the Oscars race as Bangladesh’s official submission in the ‘Best International Feature Film Category’.
Azmeri Haque Badhan, the lead actress of the film recently won the Best Actress award at the 14th Asia Pacific Screen Awards while director Saad won the Jury Grand Prize.
Along with Badhon, the ensemble cast of ‘Rehana Maryam Noor’ includes Saberi Alam, Afia Zahin, Kazi Sami Hasan, Afia Tabassum and Yasir Al Haque.
