As a part of the year-long celebrations, a film screening festival featuring stories, documentaries and short-films made in the five decades after the independence of Bangladesh, will be held. The film festival will be held from October 18 to 28 at National Art Gallery auditorium of BSA. The 30 selected films from the three categories will be awarded the ‘Best Film of Bangladesh’s 50 Years’.
