The Rich cultural tradition is not the priority.
In Western countries, the misrepresentation of Bangladesh is not fair ! Stephanie
Staff reporter : In her visit to Dhaka, Stephanie Batailler strongly criticized western countries for the misrepresentation of Bangladesh. She also said that Newspapers and Electronic media unfairly mentioned that Bangladesh is supporting Muslim fundamentalists and terrorist groups. She said at the press conference at the National Press club, VIP lounge, that, shooting in Dhaka’s region for the filmmaking of UFO in Bangladesh will brightly focus and show the History, the Tradition and the Culture of Bangladesh to the world. Not only Stephanie Batailler from the New York based Embrasure Films and Licorne Films Production, but, Masbaul I Talukder was present. He explained in details about the project. They are expecting to start shooting in Dhaka next November (2003) and by November 2004, they will finish the shooting. They think to spend about a million dollar for this project. In the presence of the Information Ministry and Foreign Ministry representatives, they had visited shooting locations in Kachua and Chandpur. They also said that this film will help to show a difference picture of Bangladesh to the Western world. This film, written by Masbaul I. Talukder and Stephanie Batailler, was inspired by Mr. Talukder’s memories of his childhood in his beloved Bangladesh. This film will be co-directed by Mr. Talukder and Mrs. Stephanie Batailler. The aim of the directors is not to show any negative aspects of Bangladesh. Maybe Bangladesh is a poor, undeveloped country, but, this country is rich in culture, natural beauties and social ties. Most of the world doesn’t have any idea from this good angle. This will show it. Stephanie Batailler said : Since I arrived to Bangladesh on December 2nd 2002, in the last 2 weeks, I have been visited several villages and towns, Comilla, Kachua, Chandpur, Feni and Chittagong. There, I have met hundreds of people, religious people, village people and I have shacked hands with them. UFO in Bangladesh is a 10-year-old Bengali boy interesting and simple story. That boy decides to create with 4 other friends a joint venture called United Friends Organization (UFO). The boy, named Bablu, heard a legend told by his grand-mother, “Cowboy Egg” story. Inspired by the legend, he would try to change his luck and make a fortune by selling eggs. With his friends, he is building a poultry farm located in the center of the neighborhood, which will catch everybody’s attention. In a world of tradition, respect and beauty, Bablu is learning that love, family and friendship are the keys of the real success.
