Directed by AJ Kardar, “Jago Hua Savera” was selected as the entry from Pakistan for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 32nd Academy Awards in 1960.
The film was co-produced during the days of undivided Pakistan (now independent Pakistan and Bangladesh) and shot in Dhaka.
It tells the tale of life in a small fishing village where everyone dreams of owning their own boat.
The film was set to be screened in the ‘restored classic’ section of the festival, which is chaired by superstar Aamir Khan’s wife Kiran Rao.
The 18th edition of the festival will be held from October 20-27 in which over 180 films from 54 countries would be screened at several spots across the megapolis.
