Bangladeshi director wins big at UK Asian Film Festival.

Bangladeshi director Riad Arfin won the Best Short Film award at the UK Asian Film Festival for "A Border Between Us," a 14-minute film about a Bangladeshi man's journey to reunite with his partner in the UK, navigating cultural differences, visa issues, and a foreign environment. The film explores interracial relationships and the challenge of creating a shared home. Distinguished guests at the festival included Shabana Azmi, Karisma Kapoor, and Sonali Bose. The film, praised for its intricate storytelling, premiered at the Edinburgh International Film Festival and will be featured at the upcoming DC/DOX Film Festival in the USA. Arfin previously won the Best Film award for "A Bus Ride" at the International Short and Independent Film Festival in Bangladesh in 2014.
