Tanvir Mokammel’s 'Madhumati Parer Manushti' to premiere in Kolkata

Acclaimed director Tanvir Mokammel's "Madhumati Parer Manushti," a documentary on Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, will have its world premiere at the Bangladesh Film Festival to be held in Kolkata from October 28 to November 2.

"The documentary will have its world premiere in Kolkata. This will be the first time that the documentary, funded entirely by Bangladesh government, will be screened to the public since it was cleared by our censor board nearly four months ago," Tanvir told The Daily Star.

The Festival will also showcase Tanvir's latest feature film "Rupsha Nodir Banke" whose story revolves around the Left movement in pre and post-independent Bangladesh.

Prior to the Bangladesh Film festival in Kolkata, Tanvir would be in Bengaluru to deliver a lecture on "1947 And My Films" on October 17. The lecture will be followed by an in-person discussion with the filmmaker.
