Bangladeshi film-maker Ariq Anam Khan’s short film “Transit” was officially selected for the International Short Fiction category at the 13th International Film Festival of Kerala.
The short film had its world premiere at the highly prestigious Encounters Film Festival last year.
'Stuck in a lonely and unforgiving city, a Bus Canvasser waits for an opportunity to migrate to create a better future for his family. Migrating means making sacrifices, but sometimes the reasons to stay outweigh the reasons to leave,' reads the IMDb synopsis of the film.
The short film was shot in 2019, and completed in early 2020. Starring Jahangir Alam in the lead role, the cast also includes Sharmeen Akhee, Baidya Nath Saha, Khairul Alam Tipu, Sharif Hossain Emon and others.
“Transit” grabbed the Best Cinematography Award at the 2021 Hummingbird International Film Festival.
