Rashed Zaman shares experiences with young filmmakers

Rashed Zaman, the cinematographer of Aynabaji, shared his experiences and knowledge on the topic of “Image and Pre-production” with the young filmmakers at Mojma14.0, organised by Biralpakhi Cine Club. Held at the National Museum Cineplex, on August 5, the event was graced by the presence of Bangladeshi-born German filmmaker Shaheen, and the former Director General of Bangladesh Film Archive, Mohammad Jahangir Hossain. In the two-hour long session, Rashed Zaman talked about the deep understanding between a director and a cinematographer, that is needed to create meaningful images. He insisted on proper preparation of the youth before entering the industry. “Ideas are important for creating images, expensive cameras or the budget is never a problem,” added Zaman. In the second session of the event, five short films were screened including Shariful Haq’s Mojma, Noor-e-Alam Taimur’s Ami Kothai Pabo Tarey and Rawan Saima’s Propaganda. Spanish filmmaker Cristina Molino’s Are You Leaving? and Swedish filmmaker Ruben Austland’s Incident by A Bank were also screened at the event. Ishtiaque Zico, the founding president of Biralpakhi Cine Club, hosted the event.
