Prof. Imran Rahman Special Advisor to the Board of Trustees University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh 04 DHAKA INTERNATIONAL MOBILE FILM FESTIVAL 2020 Message Prof. Jude William Genilo, PhD Dean, School of Social Science, ULAB I take great pride in welcoming all the attendees and participants to the Dhaka International Mobile Film Festival 2020. Now on its sixth year, CinemaScope (an apprenticeship program under Media Studies and Journalism Department of University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh) has painstakingly organized this momentous event. From the onset, it has seen the potential of the mobile phone for the purpose of storytelling; seeing the impact it would make in the art of filmmaking. This year, Cinemascope has received a groundbreaking submission of 202 films from 41 countries. Even better, only 41 of the submissions came from Bangladesh. This creates an atmosphere of being truly global. The festival undeniably creating a mark in the film arena. The festival demonstrates the success of the ULABian belief in active learning wherein gaining knowledge using a practical approach brings out the best in learners and prepares them to succeed in life. I would like to thank the attendees, participants and organizers for offering your best. Your active participation in using mobile device as a creative tool has opened doors for others to evolve. Your knowledge, expertise and experience will help our future apprentices to set foot on a path which is more known but less walked on. I would also like to thank the ULAB management for their unwavering support to this festival; for sharing our vision and belief in the technology. The Dhaka International Mobile Film Festival (DIMFF), the first of its kind, has started its journey in 2015 as an outlet for exhibiting class work. In five years, DIMFF has established a reputation from being a home-grown celebration to an international festival.

Received 08 November 2020; Revised 03 March 2021; Accepted 18 March 2021; Published 27 April 2021 Abstract Objectives: This research attempts to figure out a comparative pattern of the social response from the peoples of Bangladesh as well as different communities and regarding actions taken by the government during the COVID-19 pandemic in Bangladesh. Else, this study also investigates the shortcomings of the different wing authorities of the Bangladesh Government to reach people of every corner of this country. Methods: In this research, different facts are analyzed from a statistical point of view. Authentic sources like reputed national and international newspapers, governmental release documents, release notes of WHO, etc. were considered for data collection to realize this country’s preparations against the COVID-19 pandemic. Results: From the statistical analysis, this study found that different government authorities partially failed to communicate the measures of the government to the wider public audience. This study has shown that having more tests could have prevented the spread of the virus in Bangladesh. The strong lockdown measures taken by the government were not enough as the population of this country is huge and it is really difficult to maintain social distance in a densely populated country like Bangladesh.
