Celluloid adoration of a poet of camera

If I had been told earlier that a documentary would be made, particularly featuring a photographer from Bangladesh, I would have harbored doubts about whether the work would be done with care. However, after watching "Nasir Ali Mamun in Praise of Shadows" by Makbul Chowdhury, my skepticism has vanished. Makbul has shattered my rigid conception about documentaries. This documentary, a vibrant epitome of the life of Nasir Ali Mamun, a luminary of photography, is the result of love, relentless hard work, profound research, and boundless patience.

'Visual history' of our Liberation War

At the end of the day, all the pictures are fragments of the past. With these fragmented scenes from the past, the history is portrayed through 'visual history'. The images of visual history are created consciously or unconsciously, with their main focus on significant events, time, and culture. Visual history Can be Expressed Through One or More Images. Initially, hand-drawn pictures, murals, and frescoes were used to explore visual-history. From the mid-20th century onwards, the responsibility of creating the world's visual-history has largely been shouldered by the camera. In its continuity, the camera captures the scene-history of our Liberation War.
