Kolkata, Nov 8 (IBNS) Critically acclaimed Bengali filmmaker Atanu Ghosh's new movie Abby Sen, a film on time travel built over the nostalgia of Bengalee Bhadralok for the bygone era, is being world premiered at the prestigious two-day Abu Dhabi film festival.

"I am honoured that a film like Abby Sen, the first film in Bengali on time travel, has been chosen for Abu Dhabi film festival which is screening representational Bengali films of different genres," director Atanu Ghosh told IBNS at a special screening here.

The film, starring Abir Chatterjee and Raima Sen among ohers, will be screened in packed house of over 400 seats in the Indian film crazy city on Saturday, Producer Firdaus Hassan said.

"We want to push the horizon of Bengali film industry, we want to meet the long-standing demand of expatriate Indians to see more films from their home land," director-actor-producer Arindam Sil, one of the movers behind the show, said.

The festival was being held with the assistance of the UAE Indian embassy and Bioscope 2015.

Abby Sen which deals with the journey of a modern professional along the highway of three decades puts forth vignettes of the 80s Bengal and its unique culture, heritage and Bengalee's passion for football in those times.

This year's blockbuster Belaseshe, theatre-movement based film Natoker Mato were among other films vying for attention of the movie buffs in 'Arab land'.
