Three Bangladeshi films have been selected for screening at the fifteenth edition of London Rainbow Film Festival which will
begin on May 25 and end on June 1.
The selected films are Samia Zaman’s Akash Koto Dure, Khalid Mahmud Mithu’s Jonakir Alo and Gazi Rakayet’s Mrittika Maya.
The festival, which aims to widen the market for Bangladeshi films abroad and also entertain non-resident Bangladeshis with best films of the world, will screen fifteen films and documentaries altogether. Brady Arts Centre in London has been selected as the venue for the festival.
