Banazer Akhter is an alumnus of Satyajit Film and Television Institute and studied production for Film and Television courses. She worked with Saj Entertainment, a production house based in Assam. Song of Rain was her first film debut as an executive producer. The film was successfully screened at various National and International Film Festivals and gathered many accolades. The film’s story goes like this, the lack of rain and a dying river put the lives of residents of a remote fisherman’s village at stake. Deprived of their primary source of income and finding it increasingly difficult to sustain themselves, the villagers, who have consulted oracles, and conducted frog weddings, are now desperately looking for a way out of their plight.
A simple solution presented by the priest seems like a possible cure for the curse and though reluctant at first, the villagers decide to go with it for the village’s well-being. Ordinary village Benga and Bengi, suddenly find themselves at the centre of chaos– and their lives change forever. Under the same banner as her initial debut, Banazer completed various advertisement films and short films in the same capacity. Currently, she works as a Project Executive Producer at the International Film and Media Academy, Dhaka, Bangladesh. She tries to understand how a filmmaker’s vision is shaped by their experience in a particular place and time. Her dissertation movie is Dhundhgiri Ke Phool (A Flower in a Fog Light). She is also known for her work as the assistant director of the film Deewana (2013).
