The trailer for ‘Anaari Science’, a new experimental film blending magical realism, science fiction, and satire, has been officially launched, promising a unique cinematic experience set in the bustling city of Hyderabad, Pakistan.
Produced independently by Aleem Bukhari’s Sleepbyte Films and co-produced by Australian producers Lachlan and Renee Huddy, the film dives into a world of surrealism, strangeness, and dark humour that challenges traditional storytelling.
In ‘Anaari Science’, the narrative follows two contrasting characters: Master Jalal, an eccentric government school teacher who spends his isolated life immersed in crafting intricate designs while fuelled by his own unusual self-brewed tea, and Hassan, a young, streetwise drifter who takes on various odd jobs and scams to survive.
As the story unfolds, the film blurs the boundary between the magical and the real, connecting the lives of these characters across generational divides.
The film’s title, ‘Anaari Science’, refers to the Urdu slang “Anaari,” meaning an individual who is ridiculous or lacks traditional sensibility. This aptly reflects the film’s tone, portraying a science that is as absurd and unpredictable as the characters navigating its world.
