The SAARC Cultural Centre, Colombo, Sri Lanka is pleased to announce the SAARC Film Days 2025 for schools, celebrating the rich art of South Asian cinema. This educationally enriching event will provide students with a unique glimpse into the vibrant culture of Bangladesh, using cinema as a medium for cross-cultural understanding and dialogue.
As part of the event, students will watch Ankhi O Tar Bandhura (Ankhi and Her Friends), directed by renowned Bangladeshi filmmaker Morshedul Islam. The film tells the inspiring story of Ankhi, a visually impaired girl who overcomes societal prejudices to foster inclusivity and acceptance. It is a heartfelt narrative that explores themes of courage, friendship, and the transformative power of empathy.
As Sri Lanka continues to nurture a culture of inclusivity and diversity, Ankhi O Tar Bandhura serves as an invaluable educational tool. The film not only reflects shared South Asian values but also aligns with educational goals aimed at fostering critical thinking, empathy, and social responsibility. Through its universal themes, the film encourages students to embrace diversity and contribute to building an inclusive society.
