Dhaka International Film Festival was vibrantly alive in this winter
Every year in January, the weather in our country is relatively cold. And this year, the winter is more intense compared to the past years. Amidst the winter, I took the metro from Sher-e-Bangla Nagar to Shahbag. The sole purpose - to watch a film at the Dhaka International Film Festival. It's not just about watching a movie actually. Even meeting with familiar friends seems to have another purpose. However, this time at the fair, I didn't come across someone familiar to such an extent. And many of the festival organizers are new faces to me. Since there was no hassle with tickets this time, I went inside to watch the movie after checking the schedule. Inside, at the Sufia Kamal Auditorium in the National Museum, there is no vacant seat. Effortfully, I managed to find a seat. After the movie ended, I met with some familiar faces, and I also had the opportunity to meet with the festival director, Ahmed Mujtaba Jamal.
