An information session on Berlinale’s different programmes held on Monday morning at the Goethe-Institut Bangladesh auditorium in the capital’s Dhanmondi area.
Welcoming the audience Dr Kirsten Hackenbroch, Director of Goethe-Institut Bangladesh said, “Today all that many persons have contemplated about for years comes true. Berlinale Spotlight Bangladesh offers the independent filmmakers of this country a chance to feel and learn about Berlinale, gives Berlinale a chance to meet the vibrant young generation of film makers, and gives Goethe-Institut a chance to explore and kick-off a future collaborating in film.”
During her presentation, Dorothee Wenner, delegate to the Berlin Film Festival for South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa said that they are hoping to intensify their network into the Bangladeshi film community on personal, professional and artistic levels. First impression, the timing could not have been more perfect as they are learning about a lot of interesting film projects here in the making.
The Berlinale Spotlight in Bangladesh has been a great way to initiate a collaboration between the Goethe-Institut, the Dhaka DocLab and International Film Initiative of Bangladesh.
Meenakshi Shedde, South Asia Consultant, Berlin Film Festival stated, “For her coming from Mumbai, the heart of Bollywood, it is a particular pleasure, not only to discover a variety of regional film talent from all over India but also all over South Asia. Bangladeshi talents have already made a mark on the international film festival circuit. Through this collaboration between the Berlinale and three vital cultural institutions in Dhaka, we hope the Berlinale can be a launching pad for many more film talents from Bangladesh in the years to come.”
