Films discussed include:
Dadu
Director: Molla Sagar
Country: Bangladesh
Year: 2017
An intimate, observational portrait of Momin Ali Mridha, a centenarian and long-time model at the Faculty of Fine Arts, Dhaka University. Through his reflections on politics, religion, class, creativity, and human kindness the film blooms into a luminous meditation on the shifting character of Bangladesh and the beauty of everyday life.
Grace
Director: Naeem Mohaiemen
Country: United States
Year: 2024
Grace emerges from Naeem Mohaiemen’s collaboration with Maine resident Karen Wentworth, the second person in the state to legally secure medicine for a dignified end-of-life process. Documenting her daily routines, the film offers a tender and hopeful reflection on autonomy and mortality while posing the question: What does it mean to accept a body’s decline?
