Rubaiyat Hossain’s “The Difficult Bride” has had its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival, marking what the film’s team describes as the first participation of a Bangladeshi feature-length film at the prestigious festival.

“I want to continue being part of films, but only if they are meaningful. I’m receiving scripts, but I’ll only commit to a project when I genuinely connect with it.”

“The Difficult Bride” is produced by François d’Artemare (France), Anna Katchko (Germany), Pedro Borges (Portugal), Ingrid Lill Høgtun (Norway) and Hossain (Bangladesh). Production companies include France’s Les Films de l’Après-midi, Germany’s Tandem Productions, Portugal’s Midas Filmes, Norway’s Barentsfilm AS and Bangladesh’s Khona Talkies.
