A premiere show of two documentary films under the title of 'Palace of the Lord' by filmmaker Atondro Mahmud was held at the Alliance Franciase in Dhanmondi in the city on Thursday.

It was the Atondro's first work where he tried to uphold the magnificence of the archaeological sites of the country.

There are so many old palaces and other archaeological relics in the country which are unknown to many travellers and researchers, said the director of the film.

Therefore he tried to focus on the timelessness and the magnificence of the historically and archeologically important sites of the country.

The first documentary titled 'Palace of The Lord' has been shot in a place called Baliati of Saturia in Manikganj.

The director tried to confine the beauty of the place and palaces over there. It was a 17-minute archaeological journey with a description of the place, which made the documentary more comprehensive.

The second documentary titled 'Palace of The Lord: The Lost City of Panam' is about the Panam city of Sonargaon in Narayanganj.

Here the director viewed the city in different perspectives. It was a journey through visualisation and background music.

The documentaries were made in such a manner as would actually take the viewers to a time and places where their souls could feel resemblance with the unknown.

Atondro has added aesthetic dimensions to the places that were already grand in their own ways.
