Organised by The Embassy of Japan and Japan Foundation, in collaboration with the Institute of Modern Languages (IML), University of Dhaka (DU), and American International University-Bangladesh (AIUB), the "Japanese Film Festival 2023" concluded on Sunday.

The 4 day-long event was inaugurated on March 9, at the Institute of Modern Languages, Dhaka University, and came to a close on March 12 at American International University-Bangladesh.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by Ambassador Iwama Kiminori, Embassy of Japan in Bangladesh. He said, "I have realized that one of the main reasons for the younger generation to learn Japanese is to know more about the conversation spoken in Japanese animated films. I hope that this film festival will serve as a good opportunity for young audiences to hear native Japanese conversation as well as traditional aspects of Japanese culture".

Along with the ambassador, Acting Director Professor Mohammad Absar Kamal, and Head of Japanese Language and Culture Professor Dr. Mohammed Ansarul Alam of the Institute of Modern Languages (IML) graced the opening ceremony.
