Celebrated filmmaker Mostofa Sarwar Farooki’s upcoming movie “Piprabidya” has been selected in 2013 Asian Project Market (APM), the indie film financing event that runs in conjunction with the Busan International Film Festival.
APM is a platform where promising directors and producers of Asia are given opportunities to meet with co-producers or financiers. A total of 30 films have been selected in this year’s APM that includes films by Asian top filmmakers like Mohsen Makhmalbaf, Naomi Kawase and Kim Jee-woon. The APM selection also includes a rare English language remake of Korean film “End of Animal,” to be directed by Eron Sheean.
Farooki has recently completed the shooting of “Pirrabidya” which is now in the post-production phase. This is Farooki’s fifth feature film starring Noor Imran Mithu, Sabbir Ahmed and Indian actress Shina Chouhan. In a conversation with the Dhaka Tribune, Farooki said the film is scheduled to be released at the end of this year. According to the director, the film is about unemployed young people who live in Dhaka city, which they think of as a “big pie” and become desperate to have their shares.
Farooki’s satire “Television” was the closing film of last year’s Busan festival
