Talented young filmmaker Amit Ashraf’s debut feature Udhao will be screened at the Red Shift Coffee Lounge on May 23 in the capital's Gulshan area.
The 96-minute digital film, which earned a number of prestigious accolades and honours in different international film festivals, is going to hold a screening for the domestic audience after international success. A Q&A session with the director and actors will follow the screening.
Theatrically released in September 2013, the film is a drama-thriller about men who run from family responsibilities, and a school-van pedalling bounty hunter named Babu who promises to bring them to justice. His life’s mission comes to an ultimate crossroad when he meets his biggest prey: a corrupt politician named Akbar.
Tickets for show are available at Red Shift, Just Juice, Jatra (Banani) and ImDhaka.com.
