Series Mania Festival only selects "Barzakh" film from South Asia. Barzakh features...
The Barzakh poster by Fawad Khan and Sanam Saeed has been revealed. The lone South Asian selection at Series Mania this year is the upcoming Zee 5 web series. Asim Abbasi, who won critical acclaim for his work on Cake and Zindagi’s first Pakistani original “Churails,” is the director of Barzakh.
As previously reported, Barzakh will make its debut in the showcase’s International Panorama, a 12-title competitive segment, where it competes for the public and student jury prizes for best series, director, actress, and actor.
The series was filmed in Pakistan’s scenic Hunza Valley and Karachi. A single parent who is overcome with guilt about something he has lost will be portrayed by Fawad Khan. Fawad said this about the show: “Coinciding with our Series Mania premiere, our poster that we now reveal to the world offers an early glimpse into what can be expected from the series – abstract beauty and ambiguity that reflects the complexities in navigating human relationships in a post-modern world.” The lead female role is played by Sanam Saeed.
Sanam said about Barzakh, “It is a beautiful piece of storytelling and our premiere at Series Mania demonstrates that this is content befitting of an international audience, transcending geographical, cultural and lingual barriers.”
According to the director of the series, “Love and memory are both central thematic components of ‘Barzakh.’ We wanted a visual that represented love in its eternal manifestation but, which like memory, also had a fleeting, ephemeral quality about – like time slipping by and evaporating around us, leaving behind a distant but vivid memory of the moment it all began.”
