Asian Institute of Media and Communication Bangladesh (AIMC) has taken the initiative of “Film Production by Women Filmmakers of Bangladesh” as part of its 10th anniversary.
The first production of this program is "Muntasir", which will release on International Men's Day, said a press release issued on Tuesday.
"Muntasir" is a narrative about the sexual abuse of men and talks about gender discrimination. While most usually refer to women or girls being subjected to sexual harassment or assault, there is more reality than that. Men also confess to being tortured.
The purpose of "Muntasir" is to portray men as human beings. Men endure trauma and sexual harassment just like women do and "Muntasir" wants to show that sexual assault has no gender.
Iffat Jahan Momo is the writer and director of the web film. On November 19, International Men's Day, it will be released on Robi's OTT platform Binge.
The music for this web movie was written and performed by Arafatul Hasan Shanto of Butter Studio.
Shatabdi Wadud, Ashok Bepari, Elina Shammi, Iqbal Hossain, Sharif Siraj, Manoj Pramanik, Farhana Hamid, Shahzada Samrat Chowdhury, Tauhidul Taif, Nusaifa, Hasibul Hasan Nibir and many others have acted.
