The film “UFO in Bangladesh” will show positive aspects
of Bangladesh. Staff Reporter : American Embrasure Films and Licorne Films Production
will make a feature film called “UFO in Bangladesh” next year. The shooting
will start in November. Yesterday, Tuesday morning, in a Press conference
they announced that all the shooting will be done in Dhaka area. The Co-directors,
Masbaul Talukder and Stephanie Batailler said at the Press conference at
the National Press Club, that with this film, they will project a positive
image of Bangladesh to the western world. They announced that 10 million
dollars will be invested in this film and that, most of it, will come from
their organization. This film will be finished by the end of November 2004.
In the press conference, they also said that Bangladesh is very rich in
cultural tradition, natural beauty and social ties, but, the world doesn’t
have any idea of it. With this film, UFO in Bangladesh, they (Mr. Talukder
and Mrs. Batailler) will try to show it to the world. In the western world,
they always picture Bangladesh as a poor country and in their newspapers
unfairly published that Bangladesh supports Muslim Fundamentalists and
terrorists groups. But this is not right and they will show that message
with the film. The Directors also mentioned that, in the last two weeks,
they visited rural areas of Comilla, Chandpur, Feni and Chittagong and,
observed the beauty, the potential resources and the culture of Bangladesh
that they will show in details in the film.
