‘Sunday Movie Night’ at Goethe-Institut
On the last Sunday of each month Goethe-institut in Dhaka arranges an open to all ‘Sunday Movie Night’ where independent and experimental films as well as documentaries from Germany beyond the mainstream are screen with English subtitles.
A 2004 film ‘Kebab Connection’, directed by Anno Saul Ibo, will be screened on 29 March at 6:00pm.
‘Kebab Connection’ is an aspiring filmmaker of Turkish descent living in the German city of Hamburg, who makes commercials for his uncle's kebab restaurant. A clash of cultures and pre-parental anxiety ensues after Ibo's German girlfriend announces that she's pregnant. Ibo makes attempts at getting it right, but as the birth approaches, he's still not ready.
In the background is a feud between the kebab joint and a Greek tavern across the street. Can Ibo be the glove upon that hand?
