Farooki's 'Saturday Afternoon' bags Japanese award
Mostofa Sarwar Farooki's film 'Saturday Afternoon' has won the "Kumamoto City Award" from the Fukuoka International Film Festival Tuesday. A status upload from the acclaimed filmmaker's Facebook account disclosed the news headlines. The status further read: "I would like to take this chance to thank Fukuoka for selecting our film alongside some beautiful films! I also want to thank Fukuoka audience who have voted for our film.
Lastly, thanks to my team of cast and crew who worked incredibly hard to make this film possible! I only can hope Bangladeshi audience gets to see the film!" Although 'Saturday Afternoon' has won an award, the film is yet to get the censorship certificate for premiering in Bangladesh due to its controversial plotline about the Holey Artisan terrorist attack.
