WHY NINE FILM PROCESS
The independent filmmaking process is a unique practice that combines talent and skills to create a distinct film style despite limitations. The nine stories presented through this project have addressed numerous issues that have impacted people from different walks of life in Bangladesh. These stories have become a source of discussion, sparking conversations about the prevailing societal and mental conditions.
Rather than conforming to traditional production norms or relying on patronage, this initiative emphasizes analyzing the existing situation and seeking alternative approaches that prioritize self-respect and integrity. It aims to break free from the confines of compromise and instead focuses on presenting a fresh perspective.
The choice of producing nine films is symbolic, the number 9 representing the nine months of the liberation war and the collective desire for freedom. This initiative is grounded in the belief that filmmakers have a crucial role to play, especially when the audience’s sensibilities are numbed by a constant stream of everyday content. Amidst the abundance of contemporary events and stories, this project aims to stand out and make an impact, challenging the capitalist perspective of solely selling and trading.
The primary goal is to cultivate a generation of intellectuals who engage with cinema as a means of shedding light on our time and our thoughts. While recognizing that time will bring visitors, both today and tomorrow, this project is committed to long-term preparation, self-sustainability, and a wealth of stories. Each film production strives to be thought-provoking, raising important questions and offering fresh perspectives on life. The emphasis is on originality, ensuring that every film bears a unique imprint.
In essence, this project is a dedicated endeavor to create innovative processes, fighting against conventional norms. Its purpose is to foster intellectual growth and transformation, challenging the status quo and providing a platform for authentic storytelling.
