As London prepares for the double-bill premiere of Pori – Lost in Dhaka and Briddhashram, the global Bengali diaspora is invited to examine the moral responsibilities that bridge heritage, homeland, and human compassion.
On Sunday, 13 September 2026, London’s historic Genesis Cinema in Mile End will become the focal point of this vital dialogue. Independent production house CineBuzz Films will premiere two highly anticipated social dramas—PORI – LOST IN DHAKA and BRIDDHASHRAM. By confronting the opposite bookends of human vulnerability—the terror of a missing child in a sprawling megacity and the silent heartbreak of elder isolation—the double-feature promises to compel audiences to look squarely at realities too often relegated to social margins.
The double-feature premiere reflects CineBuzz Films’ continuing commitment to filmmaking that fuses gripping storytelling with societal accountability. Under the guiding motto “One story can spark a movement,” the London event gathers filmmakers, cultural leaders, community advocates, and the wider public to transform cinematic observation into community discourse.

đź’¬ Key Voices from the Premiere
“Cinema has the power to entertain, but it can also make us look at situations we might otherwise ignore. PORI and BRIDDHASHRAM deal with two very different stages of life, but they share one message — vulnerable people need compassion, responsibility and a society that refuses to look away.”
— Sham Islam, Director
“These are not simply films about individual families. They represent experiences that many families understand. If audiences leave the cinema talking about child safety, ageing, family responsibility or compassion, then the films will have achieved something meaningful.”
— Jyotsna Islam, Producer
“Stories about family become powerful when audiences recognise something of their own lives in them. BRIDDHASHRAM speaks about relationships, sacrifice and emotions that cross generations and cultures.”
— Shampa Reza, Renowned Actor
