The UAP Film Club, operating under the Directorate of Students' Welfare (DSW), successfully hosted the premiere screening of its latest short film, "Prohor," on Tuesday, 19 May 2026. Written and directed by Mohammad Faizy Rabby, a student and the President of the UAP Film Club, the film received an overwhelming response from the university community.
To accommodate the immense enthusiasm and anticipation from students and faculty alike, the premiere was held across two screening slots---12:00 PM and 2:30 PM. Both shows ran completely houseful, marking a significant milestone for campus-based creative arts.
A Story of Resilience and Growth
"Prohor" centers on the life of a middle-class, introverted young man who navigates a highly structured, routine lifestyle. The narrative explores what happens when unexpected incidents disrupt his predictable world, leading to a painful friendship breakup and an eventual emotional reunion.
At its core, the film delivers a powerful message to the youth: disruptive incidents and heartbreaks are inevitable chapters of life, but they must not stop one from moving forward.
The Production Journey
Produced entirely by UAP along with students and faculty, the film is the result of weeks of dedicated, professional teamwork. The structured production process moved seamlessly from a competitive audition with over 50 applicants to rigorous pre-production planning, culminating in a successful campus-wide shoot.
Cast and Crew Credits
The creative brilliance of Prohor was brought to life by a dedicated and diverse group of students representing various departments of UAP. The ensemble cast featured talented student actors Sumya Tabassum, Yeasir Arafath, Mirza Ridwan, Afifa Abyad, Maria Zannat, and Mahrin Khan.
Behind the scenes, the project was spearheaded by Mohammad Faizy Rabby, who developed the film's concept and served as the director. He was ably supported by Mahim Rahman Shafin and Yeasir Arafath, who served as Assistant Directors. Showcasing immense dedication and multitasking, Mahim and Yeasir also provided crucial technical support by assisting with the cinematography and editing processes alongside their directorial and acting duties.
Distinguished Guests and Faculty Presence
The milestone event was graced by the Honorable Acting Vice Chancellor of UAP, Prof. Dr. Mohiuddin Ahmed Bhuiyan. In his address to the audience, he commended the Film Club's initiative in nurturing creative expression among students alongside their academic pursuits.
The event's success was also made possible through the instrumental support of the DSW. Acting Director of DSW, Mr. Mohammad Rakiv, Baivab Das, Adviser, UAP Film Club, were present to celebrate the students' achievements.
