Remembering Badal Rahman on his 12th death anniv

June 11 is the 12th death anniversary of noted freedom fighter, filmmaker, and film activist Badal Rahman. Like every year, Moviyana Film Society has organised a commemorative programme to observe the day, which will be held today at 5:30 pm at the Seminar Room of National Theatre Hall of Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy.

This year, the publication ceremony of the interview book ‘Mukhomukhi Badal Rahman’ by Belayat Hossain Mamun will be held in memory of Badal Rahman.

Besides, a memorial session for the filmmaker will be held which will be attended by filmmaker Syed Salahuddin Zaki, film teacher Haider Rizvi, filmmaker Masihuddin Shaker, filmmaker Morshedul Islam, film Researcher, and writer Anupam Hayat, poet Tushar Das, film critic Mahmudul Hossain, filmmaker Ratan Pal, publisher Rahman Jasim, Badal Rahman’s daughter Ahna Rahman and Atasi Rahman, filmmaker and writer Belayat Hossain Mamun. Architect Lailun Nahar Swamy, President of the Federation of Film Societies of Bangladesh, will preside over the event.

Born on June 4 in 1949, veteran filmmaker and film society activist Badal Rahman passed away on June 11 in 2010. A couple of notable films made by the late Rahman, those themed on children, including ‘Chhana O Muktijuddha’ and ‘Kathal Burir Bagan’ earned noteworthy credit from all concerns.
