“Stop Not Golpo Chalao, Film Banao” contest launched

The first ever campus-based storytelling and film-making contest “Stop Not Golpo Chalao, Film Banao” was launched on Sunday through a press conference held in Spectra Convention Center in the city.
The contest is being organised by Perfetti Van Melle Bangladesh Pvt. Limited, manufacturers and marketers of the brand “Stop Not”.
The three-month long contest will involve students of multiple private and public universities, who will craft stories and then develop short films from screenplays adapted from those stories. The main objective of the event is to create a platform for young Bangladeshis to showcase their talent of storytelling and film making.
A total of 10 universities will be participating in the “Stop Not Golpo Chalao, Film Banao” contest.
Eminent writer Anisul Hoque will be inspiring the young students at the events, young leading writer and social activist Ashif Entaaz Rabi will be the host at all the campus activities, and prominent film director Saraf Ahmed Zibon will provide technical assistance for film making.
As Media Partners, Channel-i and ABC Radio will be following and promoting activities of the project. Finally, a “Best Film” will be selected through public voting on Facebook and SMS, as well as critical judgment by a jury panel of experts. The winner will be announced through a gala event in November.
