Synopsis
A Missing Can of Film is commissioned by the EVA IRELAND BIENNIAL and KOCHI-MUZIRIS BIENNIAL. This experimental documentary traces the films of Zahir Raihan, who is posthumously known for Stop Genocide, edited in the style of Soviet Realism and Third Cinema during the 1971 Liberation War. Raihan was abducted on January 30th, 1972, in Mirpur Thana. A bravura polymath, he had already directed ten films and written twelve novels. The film queries the carriers of disputed history – film canisters, dusty equipment, and a silent film studio.
