“Right To Water” going to Berlin

Documentary film from Bangladesh, “Right To Water”, has been invited for screening at the 31st International Short Film Festival Berlin, one of the most  prestigious short film festivals in Europe. The five-day festival will begin on November 10.

The three-minute documentary is made by Sohel Mohammad Rana, a   post graduate from the Faculty of Fine Arts of Dhaka University.

Inspired by the works of Kim Ke, a noted filmmaker of South Korea, Rana made the documentary without words.

With only one master shot, “Right To Water” is based on the daily lives of people, the young filmmaker said, adding that it depicted people's struggle to fetch water from an open roadside water line.

Earlier this year, “Right To Water” won KisaKes Film Festival, Istanbul-Berlin 2015, 9th River Film Festival 2015, Italy and 13th International Short and Independent Film Festival 2015, Bangladesh.

Besides, the runner-up award for Water Aid Shorts Film Competition 2015, United Kingdom, went to the documentary. It has also been invited for screening in Canada, USA, Mexico, India and few other countries.

Regarding his big plans for the future, Rana said he wants to see himself become a filmmaker of repute, and has already started writing his new film.
