এই বছরের জানুয়ারি মাস, একটা মাধ্যমিক বিদ্যালয়ের এক ছাত্রের ফোন। ৪/৫ জনের একটা দল, তারা একটা স্বল্প দৈঘ্য চলচ্চিত্র বানাবে তাতে আমাকে সহায়তা করতে হবে। আমি থ্রিডি এনিমেশনের ছাত্র, তাছাড়া ফিল্ম নিয়ে কাজ করতে আমার ভালো লাগে। আমি হ্যা জবাব দিলাম। বিষয়বস্তু সম্পর্কে জিজ্ঞাসা করার পর বলল, তারা আমার উপরে স্বল্প দৈঘ্য চলচ্চিত্র-টি বানাতে চান।  এর পর দুইদিন আমার বাসায় এবং নরওয়েজিয়ান কার্টুনিস্ট গ্যালারিতে চিত্র ধারণ করলো। ইউটুবে-তারা আপলোড করার অনুমতি চেয়ে কয়েক দিন পর আবার ফোন দিল।  আমি বলাম ঠিক আছে।
তারা স্বল্প দৈঘ্য চলচ্চিত্র-তীর নাম দিয়েছে Arifur Rahman - En helt for ytringsfriheten, যার বঙ্গানুবাদ''আরিফুর রহমান - একজন বাকস্বাধীনতার নায়ক'' ।
