The National Film Day will be observed in a befitting manner under the auspices of the Bangladesh Film Development Corporation (BFDC), National Film Observance Committee, and Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy on April 3.
Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, understanding the impact of films on society, tabled a bill in the provincial assembly of erstwhile East Pakistan for the formation of the Film Development Corporation (FDC) on April 3 in 1957 as the then Industries and Commerce Minister and in continuation to that FDC was established. April 3 is being observed as National Film Day every year since 2012.
To mark the day, Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy has also organised a three-day festival featuring film carnivals, seminars, film exhibitions, discussions, and meet-ups at its premises. With the slogan ‘Sobar Jonno Chalachitra, Sobar Jonno Shilpa Sangskriti’, the festival will be held from April 3 to 5.
Every day from 11.00 am to 3.00 pm, the film exhibition will be held at the National Art Gallery of BSA, while seminars and discussions will be held at 4:00 pm and meet-ups will be held at 6:00 pm.
