Entertainment News: Like every year, Bangladeshi movies are being sent to the Oscar’s International Feature Film (Foreign Language Competition) category this year too.
For that, a 7-member ‘Oscar Bangladesh Committee’ has been formed with director Matin Rahman as the chairman for movie nominations.
Films selected from Dhaka will go to the 97th Oscars through this committee. For this reason, the committee is inviting Bangladeshi films for nomination. Otherwise, there is no way to send movies directly to the Oscars.
According to Matin Rahman’s committee, the first condition is that the film should be released after 1 November 2023 and before 30 September 2024. During this period, the movie should be shown commercially for 7 consecutive days in the theaters of Bangladesh. Any full-length film with English subtitles can participate in the selection process.
Film producers interested in participating in this selection process are requested to collect the movie submission form and detailed rules from Ashirbad Films (7/9 Eastern Commercial Complex, 73 Kakrail) and submit it by 5 pm on September 21. 97th Oscar Bangladesh Committee Media Coordinator Robin Shams makes this request.
The 97th Academy Awards will be held on March 2, 2025, organized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The award will be given to 24 branches at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, California. Best International Feature Film Award is one of them.
