Program Note
The year 2018 will be recorded as the year an unusually high number of omnibus projects were made in Asia, from the Ten-Year International Project involving Thailand, Taiwan and Japan, to HBO Asia′s omnibus focusing on fear, and many other projects in the planning stage to be unveiled. Among them, Sincerely Yours, Dhaka, involving 11 young directors from Bangladesh, is unique in many ways. The main character of the movie is Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh. It is the first omnibus film produced in Bangladesh and in its completed form is a love letter to the city. Considering the relatively weak foundation for arthouse and independent films in Bangladesh, this is a very meaningful and courageous attempt to be applauded. Abu Shahed Emon, participating as a creative producer, is from the Asia Film Academy of BIFF, and with Jalal’s Story, he was invited to New Currents in 2014. With the young and talented directors of the film, these filmmakers are expected to lead the future of Bangladeshi cinema. Characters and stories of each segment harmonize well, making it an interesting and different omnibus.
