Renowned playwright and producer Faridul Islam Rubel has taken on the role of chief judge for the Babhasi International Film Festival 2023-2024. He mentioned that the film evaluation process is currently underway.
The Bangladesh-Bharot-Singapore (BaBhaSi) Trilateral Film Festival has received 153 submissions from both domestic and international filmmakers. After an initial review by the jury board, 50 films have been selected for the second round. From these, 10 will advance to the final round.
Faridul Islam Rubel stated, “It’s a great honor for me to serve as the chief judge for all rounds of the International Babhasi Film Festival 2023-2024. As a playwright, this is a point of pride for me.”
The festival will determine the top three winners through an evaluation of the best screenwriting, production, acting, cinematography, set design, art direction, editing, and background score. Every year, Babhasi provides an excellent platform for emerging talents to showcase their skills and develop according to their merit. Now in its 8th year, after seven successful editions, the festival has set a remarkable milestone, with past winners now excelling in the media industry.
Rubel further added, “I am especially grateful to the authorities for trusting me as a judge, and I am thrilled to take on this responsibility.”
