MESSAGE Festival Director 10th International Children’s Film Festival Bangladesh 2017

Abir Ferdous Mukhar

It’s a matter of great joy that Children’s Film Society Bangladesh is organizing the unique festival of the country, the 10th International Children’s Film Festival Bangladesh from January 24-30, 2017 in Dhaka, Rangpur and Rajshahi. And we will have the festival in Chittagong from February. Over 285 films from 54 countries will be shown in 14 different venues all over Bangladesh.

We always encourage the child and young filmmakers to make their own films. We know that it is very hard to find any films that only made for children. And we are working for it. A total 100 children are coming to Dhaka to attend the festival as delegates. Among them 71 are filmmakers. From last two years we have Young filmmakers section and Social section. Social section has a predetermined topic ‘Climate Change and Environment’. As all the films of the delegates are under competition, we have a jury board which is comprised with 5 children. And a 3 member jury board comprised of film makers and experts from Bangladesh and India comprised for judging the International films.

We are also honored to have 17 foreign delegates in our festival. They have sent their films in International competition section. Actually, we do not want to create any boundary for this festival. We also have 4 days day-long workshop in the topic of ‘Visual Story Telling’, ‘Script Writing’ and in technical topic of filmmaking.

A seminar will also take place on the topic of ‘Climate Change and Environment’. We bring school students, under-privileged and physically challenged children to our festival to show them films.

But we are feeling disheartened that it’s hard to get sponsors. For this reason, we need to do our work with limited budget. All of us are young and children worked for arranging successfully the festival. We get great mentorship and advice from the organizing committee of Children’s Film Society Bangladesh.

It is the first time for me to act the role of festival director, I was quite nervous but the tremendous support I got from the members and mentors of Children’s Film Society Bangladesh, it is a great achievement. This festival opens the door of great opportunities for children filmmakers to transform their dreams to reality.

They also get the chance to talk or share their thoughts with renowned filmmakers and celebrities of Bangladesh.

I am lucky enough to have the chance to be with this festival from the very first of it. This festival is getting bigger day by day with its dream. We get our energy to arrange this festival from the enthusiasm and spirit of children’s. Hope to see this festival as a global platform for children in future.

I would like to accomplish my message with dream that International Children’s Film Festival may go a long way with its especial goal and standard. We want to fulfill our slogan ‘Future in Frames’. I strongly believe that we will have a future that will recognize the creativity of children’s and give them the platform to accomplish their dreams like we do.

SYNOPSIS An adventure story for young boys, Dipu Number Two is the second film of a talented director from Bangladesh who is one of the few who concentrate on quality filmmaking in a country with a rich commercial film industry. The story is taken from a youth-oriented novel in which Dipu, a boy belonging to the educated class, is teased by the school bully but eventually forms a deep relationship with him. The rest is totally escapist in nature, including a scene in which the two youths manage to capture single-handedly an entire group of robbers.

Technology is now a part and parcel of life we cannot even imagine a day without it. But it might have some drawbacks too. With making our lives easier it has confined us in four walls and to say inside and the kids do not get the joy of running outside. They are always on their phone playing virtual reality games and enjoy the nature.

They have turned into robots. Instead of using the technology it can be said that they are being used by the technology. They are addicted and cannot keep themselves from it.

This is high time we become aware of it. Everyday, the air is being polluted by the motor vehicles, industries and all that. We are polluting the environment i.e. air, water, soil etc. in many ways. If we dispose the inorganic materials anywhere that is also harmful to the environment. So the solution to this problem is to recycle all the things that are inorganic. Recycling might help us save our planet.

Then one day, he finds out who his father is and writes him a letter. His dad, Tom, happens to be a midget and is even shorter than Michael, but he wants to accept the challenge of fatherhood, even though he knew nothing about Michael until now. For Michael, Tom’s handicap is a disaster, as it’s, the opposite of the manliness and strength he envisioned his father to have. When the other kids find out, Michael’s life becomes hell and he runs away from the children’s home. With nowhere else to go, he moves in with Tom. Tom is new to this fatherhood thing but tries his best, while Michael tries to hide his embarrassment and shame from his new friends he meets at a

local skating rink. This forces Tom, who had coped well with his “differentness” so far in his life, to confront his handicap head on. As time passes, they discover they have more in common than other sons and fathers and they form an unlikely bond, until their relationship is suddenly put to the hardest of tests.

SYNOPSIS “Brother for a day” is a film about our city, our streets and our neighborhoods—a story that could happen anywhere. It tells the story of a thoroughly modern family of three members. In their struggle for money, the parents fail to devote much time or attention to their five-year-old daughter, Anja.

They do not have the time or patience to explain things to her and they give her what she wants just to ‘buy some peace’. “Brother for a day” at a glance appears to be a story of deferent nationalities; in fact, it refers to the divide between the child’s world and the world of adults.

SYNOPSIS Circus is a satirical observational comedy loosely based on true events, directed by Gautam Arora as his thesis film at L.V Prasad Film and TV Academy.

Samarth is a 20-something boy from Delhi working in one of the many IT firms on OMR in Chennai.

Leaving to the airport on an urgent call from his mother, Samarth has an episode with the pillar of Indian Constitution. The Police. What follows is a series of farcical events that leave Samarth questioning not only the Indian Constitutional system but also the ethical underpinnings of the citizens of India.

From charade playing cops to painters whitewashing the station, from the chaos of forthcoming election to extraordinary hierarchies present within those police station walls, Circus is a heartfelt glimpse into the urban life of Chennai, thus being a synecdoche of everyday India.

SYNOPSIS Bangla word ‘Ghraan’ means Smell. Ahkam and all his lively friends were from poor families who could not afford to taste kebab in the nearby restaurant.

So, their fun was to have the smell of kebab when they used to pass by. But one day, he finds his poor father enjoying kebab in the same restaurant which put a big impact on his child psychology that he still could not forget.

Ghraan is a nostalgic episode of an established businessman- “Ahkam”. One day, stuck in traffic, he takes an unusual road that eventually connects his child-hood memory. His childhood snapshots of struggling family days, unfulfilled desires, friendship, relations and dreams make Ahkam nostalgic.

He connects the smell of his father with own father-hood in a very stunning way.

We told our natures’ story through an underwater world. A world which is resided by these tools. It is based on Darwin’s established principle “survival of the fittest”. Tools are the protagonists and lead you into the depth and bizarre underwater world. If one is not fit for this world, he will not survive. That is our style to fit, one must fit to survive for sure.

Dreams that we celebrate within us are often bullied by numerous social question marks. These very question marks limit us, question our free will of thinking and keep us from moving forward.

Eventually, without thy dreams, we wound up being something. We never wanted to be. Until and unless you take a step to work towards making those dreams come true and stop asking yourself, “What if!”

Consumption of life lies in being a factual human.

Consumption of life is when you can see every human being in a substantive eye.

Have we ever tried to see the lunatic maniac person sitting on the street with that eye? We hesitate to count him as a human. It is about the instinctive love between a young boy and a lunatic insane man. Love is not confined. Love has a safe home in every soul. A mad crazy insane man, he may be mad. He may be crazy. He may be insane but he also knows what love is and how to love.

Love doesn’t have different colours. It’s Always coloured with the colour of soul. Love doesn’t have different language. It speaks with the language of heart.

SYNOPSIS The experimental short film “Chess” is an attempt towards racial injustice. Although having equal power and characteristics, there are discrimination and conflict in our society. External condition is not a constant truth, it is ephemeral. All have the same ending. Chess is the reflection of it in symbolic meaning. The film ends on a serious note of bringing a sense of anti-racism through the black and white chess pieces and their allocated powers.

The main intention is to project a stand against racism. This film is solely dedicated to all those great personalities who raised their voice against racism.

Director Nasser Hasib Siddiqui Story Nasser Hasib Siddiqui Ragib Ahsan Script/Screenplay Nasser Hasib Siddiqui Cinematographer Ragib Ahsan Editor Partho Khan

SYNOPSIS Within the mechanical adult life there is a child in everyone that keeps the deep human side alive.

The play doll in the Rupa’s hand is a metaphor for that child in us. We as adults do everything to protect that child, turning its face away from harsh truth as portrayed by turning the doll’s face away. However, more times than not we stand in a position of utter helplessness, get squashed by cruel reality. Initially this film might resonate as the story of a sex worker however; I intended to leave the judgment onto the audience. This story can be portrayed as story of a sex worker, a girl in abusive relationship, or even a marital relationship where there is only the use of a women’s body, but no love. While the girl hung her doll, she dehumanized herself; whether killing the inner child, or even her life.

SYNOPSIS In the film, firstly we see a freedom fighter named Habib is being tortured in a Pakistani Military Camp. He is asked to tell the name of his friends, tempted to betray, told to sing the national anthem of Pakistan. Habib is severely beaten by Pakistanis, but he refuses to co-operate. Finally he is asked why he is tolerating such pain. Habib says it is for a ‘dream’. A dream for his country’s freedom, a dream for the future generations. His last words are ‘I know you guys will kill me, but you can’t kill my dream’. On the other hand, we see our new generation is failing to fulfill the dream of our freedom fighters. They are too busy with fake social activities and limitless fun. They are ignorant of our history, disrespectful to our country. That’s how the film shows the contrast of present and past.
