Jatra Biroti has arranged a special screening of late Tareque Masud’s final feature film “Runway.” The art and music lounge on the roof of Jatra Banani will hold the screening on July 6 at 7:30pm.
Jointly written by Tareque and Catherine Masud, the final film of Tareque Masud, which came out to the theatres in December 2010, chronicles a young man named Ruhul who lives with his family in a small hut next to a runway of the international airport. A Madrasa (religious school) dropout, Ruhul spends his days wandering under the shadow of the planes, aimless and frustrated in his futile efforts to find work. One day at a cyber-cafe; he meets Arif, a computer-savvy young man who exudes confidence and a sense of purpose. The world Arif introduces to him seems inspiring and new, but eventually Ruhul’s life spirals into a nefarious netherworld of intolerance and violence.
This event is the second initiative of a continuous effort introduced by Jatra Biroti to showcase and discuss the films of Tareque Masud. Tickets are available at www.imdhaka.com
