Film festival in Feb at BFDC in memory of Gazi Mazharul Anwar

Bangladesh Film Development Corporation (BFDC) has taken the initiative to organise an open film festival with renowned lyricist, director and producer Gazi Mazharul Anwar.

BFDC Managing Director Masuma Rahman Tani said that the festival will be held in February, birth month of Gazi Mazharul Anwar.

Tani said, “We wanted to do something about Ghazi Mazharul Anwar Uncle. He loved film industry, valued everything and considered it his home.

But after he left, we could not value him in that way. We only took from him, we could not give anything much from the family.”

The event will be held in early February, month of Gazi Mazharul Anwar’s birth, as the month of Ramadan falls on his birthday.

Tani also said, “We will hold a film festival with him, and we will also recreate his timeless songs. The main goal of this festival is to bring works of this legendary personality to current generation.

This practice should always be in our industry.

If we can give due respect to the talented people of the film industry, then the artistes of this time will also be more motivated towards their works.”
