Bangladeshi short film to premiere at the prestigious Encounters Film Festival

Director Ariq Anam Khan's short film Transit will have its official world premiere at the highly prestigious Encounters Film Festival next month.

'Stuck in a lonely and unforgiving city, a Bus Canvasser waits for an opportunity to migrate to create a better future for his family. Migrating means making sacrifices, but sometimes the reasons to stay outweigh the reasons to leave,' reads the IMDb synopsis of the film. 

Encounters FF is one of the biggest short film festivals in the UK and this year's edition will take place online. 

In this Oscar and BAFTA qualifying festival, Transit will be competing in the International Competition section.
