The Bangladeshi film indus-try needs India’s expertise in digitising the filmmaking process in their country and cooperation to facilitate screening of their films in both the neighbouring countries simultaneously, a film industry official said on Wednesday.
According to Banglade-shi film exhibition committee joint secretary Sudipta Kumar Das, “Ma Amar Swarga” (“My Mother is My Heaven”) will be the first commercial Banglade-shi film to be released in India Friday.
“It is a five to six-year-old film and we have managed to get it released in WB Friday. However, we seek cooperation from the film industry here to widen our reach and ensure films from Bangladesh release in both countries simulta-neously,” Das told IANS.
The film is in the old 35mm format, while the movies being made curren-tly are digital. Bangladesh has taken to the new technology only recently, said Das and is yet to master the techniques. (IANS)
