𝐏𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐤 𝐁𝐨𝐬𝐞's film ' Notun Surjo (The new sun) ' was chosen in the special mention category from the final week's challenge. It is a thought-provoking, poignant film centered around a political issue concerning religious identity.
Pulak thought nothing could be more relevant than depicting the emotions between a mother and a son while he is amidst a religious identity crisis. The challenge for this film was replicating an Indian middle-class house set up in Melbourne, Australia but the Imagonic team pulled together a beautiful set depicting some major aspects of a Bangla household used throughout the movie as props.
