This year, the Bangladeshi short film, ‘Standpoint’ will compete in the ‘Short Films’ Category at the ‘Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Film Festival’ to be held on 31st October 2020 in Gujarat, India. The short film has already been screened at 14 film festivals in nine different countries.

About the film, director Faridul Ahasan Shourav said, “The idea for the film originated during a conversation with two of my friends. The impact of Kurosawa’s ‘Rashomon’, Saint-Exupery’s ‘The Little Prince’ and Einstein’s ‘Theory of Relativity’ were still fresh inside my mind. That is why I intended to make a film based on different people’s contrasting standpoints. In ‘Standpoint’, I have tried to experiment with storytelling.”

 The cinematography was carried out by Akram Hossain. Foley sounds and music were recorded by Shariful Anik who did Editing as well. 

It is to be mentioned that ‘Standpoint’ received an award from North South University’s Cine & Drama Club for being the Best Short Film at their Inter-University Short Film Festival, IUSFF. 

Moreover, this short film won the title of the Best Experimental Film at the ‘12 Months Film Festival’ hosted in Cluj Napoca, Romania.
