Bangladeshi filmmaker Mostofa Sarwar Farooki’s No Man’s Land was awarded the $16,000 (Rs1m) NFDC Development Award at the close of the Film Bazaar co-production market (Nov 20-24).
Produced by Farooki’s Dhaka-based Chabial, the film is about a member of the Ahmadiyya minority in Pakistan, which is discriminated against by the Sunni majority, and how he struggles with his identity in both his home country and the US.
Meanwhile, Raam Reddy’s Thithi won an award for Digital Intermediate services at Prasad EFX under the ‘Work-in-Progress Feature’ category. Khushboo Ranka and Vinay Shukla’s Proposition For A Revolution took the same award in the Work-in-Progress documentary section.
Film Bazaar also introduced three $16,000 (Rs1m) interest-free repayable loans for projects seeking completion financing in the ‘Film Bazaar Recommends’ section.
