Oggatonama scores a double at Kosovo

“Oggatonama”, Tauquir Ahmed's latest big screen venture, is shining its light in the far corners of the world. At the award ceremony of the Film Fest Kosova on Sunday, Tauquir Ahmed had his hands full, quite literally, as he picked up the awards for Best Director and Best Screenplay. 

The film which released in Bangladesh on August 19, earlier won a jury mention at an independent film festival in Naples, Italy, and was screened at the Le Marché du Film on the sidelines of this year's Cannes festival. It is set to premiere in Paris tomorrow (September 7), and will travel next to USA to participate in the Washington DC South Asian Film Festival from September 9-11. It will then be screened at the Religion Today Film Festival in Trento, Italy from October 7-17, before going back to USA to the Seattle South Asian Film Festival (October 14-23). 

The film, starring Fazlur Rahman Babu, Shahiduzzaman Selim, Nipun, Mosharraf Karim, Shatabdi Wadud, Abul Hayat, Shehed Sharif Khan, Shahed Ali Sujon and many others, has also received rave reviews in Bangladesh.
