Short Film Screening: Barite Jahaj

A short film by NUS Architecture students Marsha Ismail and Tiffanie Tseng, Barite Jahaj, will be screened before the main film screening of Everything Everywhere All At Once.

Barite Jahaj is set in the future Chittagong in Bangladesh. A large corporation using the latest ship-breaking and salvaging technologies have taken over the industry in this future world. Small dwelling units intermixed with shops and services are stacked vertically with the ship-breaking infrastructure to form a megastructure housing thousands of inhabitants, many who depend on the corporation for work and survival. The story follows the journey of a Bangladeshi shipbreaker who struggles to be accepted socially after being fitted with a prosthesis arm. Despite his sense of isolation, he continues to work and spend time making kites for the children.

Barite Jahaj is multi-layered and metaphorical. One can read the moments of intimacy juxtaposed against the enormity of megastructure, and the torrid, laborious work of shipbreaking against the joy and freedom of making and flying kites salvaged from scrap metals beyond their visceral depictions. For Marsha Ismail and Tiffanie Tseng, The Last Home is one that brings acceptance and renewal against the backdrop of corporatisation, power, control, and the grip of traditional values.
