Representation of Liberation War in the Films of 90S
[Scientific Articles] Shifat S., Ahmed S. Representation of Liberation War in the Films of 90s REPRESENTATION OF LIBERATION WAR IN THE FILMS OF 90s Shifat S. Assistant Professor at Jahangirnagar University Journalism & Media Studies Department (Dhaka, Bangladesh) [email protected] Ahmed S. Assistant Professor at Jahangirnagor University Journalism & Media Studies Department (Dhaka, Bangladesh) [email protected] Abstract: In the history of Bangladesh, the liberation War of 1971 is an unforgettable period. Through the bloody struggle of nine months their independence is achieved, which simultaneously contains the spirit of Bengali spirit, love and patriotism towards the motherland. Bangladeshi people participated in the spirit of love and extreme sacrifice from every sphere of society for the motherland and Bengali language. In addition to other mass media, film is an equally important medium and in films there is a great deal of effort to uncover the vital role of creating ideas and consciousness among people about the liberation War. With this in mind, this study tried to find out, how the films conceptualise the spirit and history of the liberation War in the 90s after two decades of freedom. This study has been conducted taking three feature films of the 90s based on the liberation war. Adopting the content analysis method, the study aimed to answer two questions- ‘How do the films of the 90s represent the liberation War of Bangladesh?’; and, ‘To portray the history of the liberation war, what kind of content and contexts have been used in these films?’ The results showed that the films of the nineties signify the jana-itihas of Bangladesh by attaining the concept of the liberation War in a distinctive way.

Book on Birth of Bangladesh As Told Through Cinema
Book on birth of Bangladesh as told through cinema New Delhi, Oct 25 (PTI) An Australian writer and an Indian publisher have come together to provide what veteran director Budddhadeb Dasgupta describes as a "very original work interpreting the story of" the birth of Bangladesh as told through cinema. "The cinema of Bangladesh is not as well known as it deserves to be outside of its own country," runs the opening sentence of Dasgupta's blurb for Australian writer John W Hood's forthcoming book "The Bleeding Lotus: Notions of Nation in Bangladeshi Cinema" published by New Delhi-based Palimpsest. This is for the first time that a book in English on the subject has been written by a non- Bangladeshi and published by an Indian firm which not coincidentally began its journey three years ago by publishing the English translation "Freedom's Mother" of Bangladeshi writer- journalist Anisul Hoque's popular novel "Maa". "The Bleeding Lotus" traces the evolution of nationalism leading to the emergence of Bangladesh and discusses in great detail the works - feature and documentary films - of all top directors of meaningful cinema of that country like Morshedul Islam, Chasi Nazrul Islam, Tanvir Mokammel, Shameem Akhtar, Tareque Masud, Humayun Ahmed, Kowser Choudhury, Sajjad Bokul, A Sajib Ashiq and Toquir Ahmed who have used the liberation war as the backdrop for their films. Many of these directors' works have been shown in international film festivals across the world, with a few them winning awards. Overcoming the problems funds in making technically high quality films and often struggling lack of screening outlets, these directors have nonetheless stuck in their own says to make the world take note of meaningful cinema in Bangladesh.

A Critical Analysis of Censorship Law and Bangladeshi Film
Journal of Law, Policy and Globalization www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-3240 (Paper) ISSN 2224-3259 (Online) Vol.36, 2015 A Critical Analysis of Censorship Law and Bangladeshi Film Kazi Shariful Islam Lecturer, School Of Law, Britannia University,Paduar Bazar, Bishwa Road,Comilla [email protected] Abstract Personally, I am one of the biggest fans of film from my very childhood. Especially I am the audience of Bangladeshi film. When I first met with television at that time the film was telecasted in Bangladesh television in every 15 days. These 15 days seemed like a thousand years. Normally at that time Bangladesh television was telecasted the film of early 70’s and 80’s (it is called the golden time of Bangladeshi film). Sareng bou, jibon theke neya, father, golapi ekhon train e, ora egaro jon, vat de, shutorang, behula, nil akasher niche, abar tora manush ho type film made me the biggest fan of Bangladeshi film. But when I reached in class 8/9 the total scenario was changed radically. Vulgarity in film, cut peace etc made the nasty environment. Someone came from cinema hall was not expected from our society. Sometimes it indicated the less personality of him! I felt sorry for that. From that time we lost our film market rapidly. We transfer the responsibility of entertainment to the big shoulder of television. Specifically a 14” to 32” television captured our every taste of entertainment. Specifically Indian serial exploit us. Those who declared themselves as a smart and intellectual audience heavily relied on toliwood movies. Almost the same story of Kolkata movies grasps the cinema field of Bangladesh.

International Children Film Festival – Bangladesh
International Children Film Festival – Bangladesh Children’s Film Society Bangladesh orshedul Islam made his filmmaking debut in 1984 while he was a student with the short film Agami (Time Ahead) about the war for liberation of Bangladesh. Morshedul won the Best MDirector award for his very first film at the 10th International Film Festival of India held in New Delhi in 1985. The film was also shown in many interna- tional film festivals. Agami was the first independent short film in Bangladesh and its suc- cess contributed significantly to the establishment of an alternative film movement in the country. He became a renowned and multi-awarded filmmaker in Bangladesh with films like Chaka (1993), Dipu Number Two (1996), Dukhai (1997), Khelaghor (2006), Durotto (2006), Amar Bondhu Rashed (2011), Anil Bagchir Ekdin (2015) and Ankhi O Tar Bandhura (2017). The films Dipu Number Two, Duratwa, Amar Bandhu Rashed and Ankhi O Tar Bandhura are all about children. He won awards for his films not only in Bangladesh but other countries as well (in addition to India, he got awards in France and Japan). He also got involved with many film societies around the world. Morshedul attended the International Children Film Festival (ICFF) India organized by the Children’s Film Society India in 2005. The interna- tional film festival in India focused mainly on films made by children, but it was organized by experienced grown-ups. He went home to Bangladesh with a wonderful idea of establishing the Children’s Film Society Bangladesh (CFS). Morshedul wanted CFS to realize the idea that children could run their own activities related to filmmaking.
