Ten years after its premiere, Kamar Ahmad Simon’s film has lost nothing of its bitter topicality. In 2022, too, millions of people are fleeing floods after heavy rainfall in Bangladesh, hundreds of villages are flooded or completely cut-off. On 27 May 2009, cyclone Aila hit the Bangladeshi coast. The community portrayed in “Are You Listening!” has settled in a makeshift home on an old dyke and keeps stubbornly waiting for the new one to be built. With a fine sense for absurd situations, the filmmaker documents a daily life marked by the determination to return one day against all odds.
