The trailer of “Something Like An Autobiography” was released on the Chorki’s official Facebook page. The trailer begins with the words, “All my life… I didn’t want money, or fame. What I wanted was a pair of wings.”
“Autobiography” was selected for the 28th Busan Film Festival, competing with some of Asia's most prominent filmmakers in the Kim Jiseok category. The US based magazine, Variety also released an article on the film.
The festival which began October 4 will go on until October 13. “Autobiography” will be screened at Cinematheque Busan on October 8 and the Lotte on October 9 and 11.
The story focuses on the experiences of the couple in Dhaka as they struggle to conceive after years of marriage. The nuances of societal pressure and the real-life experiences of Mostofa Sarwar Farooki and Nusrat Imrose Tisha play out.
The screenplay was written by Farooki and Tisha. Mostofa Sarwar Farooki said on the movie, “Although I was hesitant about it at first, Tisha cleared my doubts. She told me you can show this story only once in your life. I want to tell them that this film is the most personal story of Tisha and I.”
Under Chorki’s “Ministry of Love” project, 12 filmmakers are to create movies based on the premise of “love”. Mostofa Sarwar Farooki is responsible for co-producing the entire project. Farooki will be directing "The Last Defender of Monogamy” and “Something Like An Autobiography”.
