A Swiss film festival will begin tomorrow at the Goethe Institut in the capital’s Dhanmondi area. Organised by the Embassy of Switzerland in Bangladesh in cooperation with the Goethe Institut, the festival will run until Tuesday, December 9.
The festival’s opening film, “Die Schwarzen Brüder (The Black Brothers),” will be screened at 6pm. Set in the 19th-century backdrop, the film tells an adventurous story of the young chimney sweepers in Italy and their spectacular escape back to Switzerland.
The second film of the festival, a Swiss documentary titled “More than Honey,” will be screened at 6pm on Monday. The film embarks on a journey to meet with people whose lives depend on bees.
The last film of the festival, “Der Verdingbub (The Foster Boy),” will be screened at 6pm on Tuesday. The film depicts the difficult life of an orphan boy in his foster house, where he is treated badly, and his emotional journey.
All the films are in German with English subtitles. The film festival is open for all.
