Dhaka-based filmmaker Hemanta Sadeeq directs “Khowab: Castle in the Air” which highlights the Bengali saree-weaving tradition that boasts years of persistence and is linked to communal living, but the practice itself is not sustained well. But his approach goes beyond merely promoting the practice for its continuation. The film portrays this transition to weaving automation through the life of a traditional hand weaver.
