What is Idrish (ইদ্রিস) about?
Idrish acts as an urgent and potent piece of anti-deportation activism. With reports of deportation flights regularly in the news, the film is rich with resonance to our current moment. In one striking sequence, footage of a protest march gives way to staccato editing and propulsive sound design by Claude Nouk, who re-uses and manipulates archival sounds to transform the film into a powerful rallying cry. Radically reanimating the documentary form, Jacob enlivens the archive to tell a vital history. The film reflects a distinct Bangladesh style and perspective. The story is brought to life by director Adam Lewis Jacob. With a runtime of 31 minutes, it offers a concise viewing experience.
