Travelling to Bangladesh to see family, I thought I’ll bring my film gear with me to capture this beautiful chaotic city of Sylhet, a very much underrated gem, I’ve seen many beautiful cinematic videos of Dhaka and other parts of the country but not many of Sylhet, so I thought I’ll have a crack at it. The current population of Sylhet is 890,000, compared to Manchetser which is 532,000. I received alot of love and compassion from this city, the people maintain their reputation of being hospitable and humble, having little themselves yet they’re always willing to give and share.
Despite my best efforts, I feel I have not justifiably captured the essence of what makes this vast city so beautiful and unique. I hope you like it, share it amongst your friends and family.
I want to thank MrBrynnorth for inspiring me, have a look at his channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDYdeq3JW_E&t=155s
(A special thanks to my cousin Anam who helped me navigate the city, he carried most of my heavy kit and acted as my camera assistant, could not have done it without him).
