12th International Children's Film Festival Bangladesh 2019

Light

Bangladesh | 8:18 | Drama | 2018 | Short Film (Live Action) | English

This film depicts a quarter of a modern world interpretation of Plato's allegory of the cave. The allegory of the cave is a cruel yet strikingly realistic depiction of the strain that comes with living in this society of ours. How we tend to believe what we are taught to believe regardless of the truth is a talking point of the film. This is an attempt to unearth the grieving shackles that are put on our lives in the guise of development and advancement.

বাংলা

আধুনিক বিশ্বের এক চতুর্থাংশ হলো প্লেটোর গুহার রূপককাহিনী। কি নিষ্ঠুর অথচ অদ্ভূত বাস্তবতার সম্মুখীন হই আমরা প্রতিনিয়ত এই সমাজে বসবাস করতে গিয়ে। আর তাই এটি আমাদের জীবনের বিকাশ ও অগ্রগতির পথে সবচেয়ে নির্মম শিকলগুলি ভেঙে ফেলবার একটি প্রচেষ্টা।
