A daylong programme observing the second death anniversary of filmmaker Tareque Masud and cinematographer Mishuk Munier will be held on August 18 at the Shawkat Osman Auditorium of the Central Public Library.
On August 13, 2011, Tareque and Mishuk, the blazing duo of the Bangladeshi independent film arena were killed in a dreadful road accident.
They were returning from Manikganj’s Ghior after selecting shooting spots for Tareque’s latest film “Kagojer Phul.”
The nation remembered the two great personalities of our time by lighting candles on the premises of the National Museum last Tuesday. On August 18, Tareque-Mishuk Smriti Parshad is holding an elaborate programme which will start at 3pm with the screening of “Narasundar,” a 15-minute documentary directed by Tareque and his wife Catherine Masud, and cinematographed by Mishuk.
A documentary on Tareque, titled “Phera” and is directed by Proshoon Rahman, will be shown next.
The programme not only features the screening of their landmark films, but also protests against the unsafe condition of highways and urges to the government to take measures. Highlighting such issues, two documentaries – “Abirer Ghar” by Sandeep Biswas and “Mrityuphand” – will be screened at the programme.
A memorial discussion will be held at 5pm. Nasiruddin Yousuff Bachchu, Khushi Kabir, Morshedul Islam, Shamim Akhtar, Kamar Ahmed Simon, Proshoon Rahman and Catherine Masud will discuss the works and contributions of the duo.
The programme will be wrapped up with the screening of Tareque-Mishuk’s last feature film “Runway.”
