The producers expressed hope that the programme’s blend of music, dance and comedy will make Eid celebrations even more enjoyable for viewers.

When I walked into the Salle de Conférence de Presse for the Displaced Filmmakers Fund (DFF), admittedly a bit late after a screening, one thing instantly came to mind: Rithy Panh, Annemarie Jacir, Mohammed Amer, Akuol de Mabior, and Bao Nguyen are incredibly talented directors of the highest calibre. However, I wondered whether the fund could also be used to amplify voices that would otherwise have no way of being heard. I will circle back to this point.

Kaarina Kaisar, the content creator and actress who passed away in Chennai following liver-related complications, will be brought back to Bangladesh this afternoon.

Kaarina’s words still echo in my ears. The beautiful photos of her that everyone is sharing right now are from that very shoot. But sadly, there will never be another photoshoot again.

However, humor was not all she was—she was also the kindest and most giving person you could meet. She was the type who would send you voice messages to praise and encourage you, even if you had just met. If she perceived you to be talented in any way, she would go above and beyond to encourage you to pursue your craft.
