To compete in the category of Best Foreign Language Film at the ‘90th Academy Award’ (Oscar), Bangladeshi films have been invited to take part in the selection process, says a press release. Like the previous years, Bangladesh Federation of Film Societies (BFFS) has formed a nine-member Oscar Bangladesh Committee for selecting a Bangladeshi film to compete in the Best Foreign Language Film category at the 90th Academy Award. Eminent film personality Habibur Rahman Khan has been made the chairman of the committee, while Robin Shams has been appointed the media coordinator.
The 90th Oscar Bangladesh Committee has called for submission of films, made in Bangla language by Bangladeshi filmmakers, and subtitled in English. Films released after October 1, 2016 and screened at a theatre continuously for a week will be eligible to apply. To participate in the selection process, interested film producers are requested to collect forms and detailed rules of submission at Hasan Holding (9th floor), 52/1 New Eskaton, Dhaka by 5pm of September 20, 2017.
