EP28 - Being a jury at Cannes ft. Aroni and Sadia Khalid Reeti

Though my guest today on the #Nabanoor #podcast needs no introduction, it is an absolute honor that the one and only Sadia Khalid Reeti will be among us. This gorgeous woman with a beautiful soul is the first Bangladeshi woman to serve as a FIPRESCI jury member at the prestigious Festival de Cannes (Cannes Film Festival). And she did it twice. She has also served as a jury member at numerous international film festivals in Italy, India, England, Nepal, France, Russia, Bangladesh and most recently Iran, to name just a few. Sadia studied Screenwriting at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). She has also worked as an entertainment journalist in Dhaka and Los Angeles since 2012. A Berlinale Talent Press alumna, she attended mentorship programs with Film Independent and Locarno Open Doors. She also teaches film studies at different universities and institutions and is the recipient of Charles Wallace Fellowship from the British Council and also a voting member of the prestigious Golden Globes Award. Sadia is currently a member of the National Film Advisory Committee in Bangladesh.
