Dhaka, Apr 16 (UNB) – ‘Bagania’ (Garden of Memories), a documentary by Humaira Bilkis, will be screened at the auditorium of Goethe-Institute on Thursday.
It will be screened at 5pm under the ‘Through Her Eyes’ initiative which provides a space to watch and discuss films with the country’s women filmmakers. It will be followed by a discussion.
Bilkis has used her long-term relationship with the migrated tea plantation workers of north-east Bangladesh as the subject matter of ‘Bagania’.
The Dhaka-based documentary filmmaker’s interest in filmmaking is anthropocentric and she interested in finding qualities in a non-fiction genre by using creative treatment of actuality.
Currently, she is working on her documentary ‘Bilkis and Bilkis’ based on her relationship with her mother in the changing context of Bangladeshi society.
