Abu Sayeed

Abu Sayeed (born 1962)

In 1987, at the age of 25, Abu Sayeed made his first film, the short Aborton. It was released the following year and won the Bangladesh National Film Award for Best Short Film. Sayeed started work on his second short film, Dhushar Jatra, in 1989. It was released in 1992, and also won the National Award for Best Short Film.

The short films were not lucrative, however, so in 1997 Sayeed shifted to television production, which was more profitable.

He and his wife have a son, born in 2006. In March 2020, he exhibited the idea at Sufia Kamal National Public Library. He has also advocated elevated housing that emulates the structure of trees, calling it a more environmentally friendly architectural design.
