20 Continuous Shots Followed by Siddhartha

Video | hdv | color and b&w | 20:0 | Bangladesh | 2016

Twenty continuous shots linger over the slums of Dhaka, contrasting a young man`s search for moments of stillness and clarity with the megacity`s constant onslaught of sound and movement. The young man seeks peace on a series of bridges crossing an open sewer while the noises of modern urban life - from radio advertising to religious sermons - babble on without pause.

Abid is one of the most promising independent filmmaker from Bangladesh interested in making experimental films.
