Produced by Redoan Rony, the film offers viewers a glimpse into the real lives of Farooki and Tisha. The film explores themes of love, suspicion, and the complex dynamics of human relationships.
The film's international premiere is going to be held at the 28th Busan International Film Festival. The screening will take place at the Busan Cinema Centre on Sunday at 8:30 pm. Yesterday Farooki shared a family picture on his social media account captioning, "Off to Busan".
"Autobiography" has received further attention by securing a nomination for the prestigious "Kim Jiseok Award". Named in honour of the late director Kim Jiseok, this award recognises outstanding contributions to cinema. Farooki's film is competing with other exceptional works from around the world for this esteemed accolade.
What sets the project apart is that it was directed by Farooki and co-written by him and Nusrat Imrose Tisha. This dynamic duo has worked their magic to create a compelling narrative that promises to resonate with audiences.
The official trailer, which was unveiled recently, opens with a powerful quote from Tisha, "Not money, not achievements, I have only wanted freedom all my life." Farooki takes on the role of filmmaker Farhan, and the narrative delves into the intricacies of their relationship. The story takes an unexpected and thrilling turn as it transforms into a suspense mystery thriller, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats.
One of the most heartwarming moments in the trailer showcases the couple's journey into parenthood as they prepare for the arrival of their child after ten years of marriage. This tender moment adds depth to the film's exploration of love and the passage of time.
Farooki, a seasoned director in Bangladeshi cinema, has helmed two web-films for the "Ministry of Love" anthology, namely "Last Defenders of Monogamy" and "Something Like an Autobiography."
