Submissions are open!
Cinema has always been more than moving images—it is memory, resistance, imagination, and truth. It is where untold stories find a voice and where perspectives from across the world meet on a shared screen. With this spirit, Dhaka Film Festival 2025 officially opens its call for submissions.
Filmmakers from Bangladesh and beyond are invited to submit their films and become part of a global celebration of storytelling.
A Platform for Bold Voices
Over the years, Dhaka Film Festival has established itself as a vital space for independent, auteur-driven, and socially conscious cinema. The festival brings together filmmakers, critics, students, and cinephiles to engage with films that challenge norms, question realities, and explore the human condition.
From powerful documentaries and experimental works to compelling narratives and short films, DFF continues to champion diversity and cinematic courage.
Submission Deadline
Submission Deadline: 07 January 2026
