Program Note
The director Mostofa Sarwar FAROOKI, has been exploring social justice and fairness through his films including Television, the closing film at Busan International Film Festival in 2012. His seventh feature is filmed in one shot without editing, depicting a terrorist incident on a calm weekend. On a nice Saturday afternoon during Ramadan, citizens enjoy sleepy day time. Suddenly, a group of terrorists takes over a cafe in the city holding hostages of employees and customers. The police soon surround the building and demand negotiation and surrenders, the terrorists fortify the cafe with gas cylinders continuing their unfair tribunal. Foreigners, the disabled, women, businessmen, artists, non-Muslims, and even Muslims with different sect are subject to brutal hostility. The media streaming live news to attract more viewers doesn’t care for the safety of the hostages. Each time a hostage is executed one by one, the nightmare of violence is amplified. (PARK Sungho)
