‘Rehana Maryam Noor’ nominated at Five Flavours Film Festival

Bangladeshi filmmaker Abdullah Mohammad Saad’s award-winning film ‘Rehana Maryam Noor’ starring actress Azmeri Haque Badhon has secured nomination under the competition category of ‘New Asian Cinema’ programme in Poland-based Five Flavours Film Festival.

“Rehana embarks on an angry journey through a labyrinth of corridors, offices and classrooms. The camera tries to keep up with her, cornering her in the narrow, dark-blue frames, creating an emotionless record of her lonely mission,” the festival wrote about the film on its website.

“With his second film, tense like a full-blooded thriller, Saad confirms that he is an incredibly talented artist with a critical outlook on the everyday reality of his country,” the statement said about director Saad.

New Asian Cinema section of Five Flavours Film Festival presents films that show the modern reality of the continent particularly brave and interesting ways, exploring interpersonal relations, cultural tensions and the topical issues faced by the world.
