The “Dhaka to Cannes” Initiative

IFIB (The International Film Initiative of Bangladesh) and Daily Star's 'Celebrating Life' have come up with fantastic news for potential filmmakers. In their "Dhaka to Cannes" initiative, IFIB and IEFTA (International Emerging Film Talent Association) will host a competition in search of the best emerging Bangladeshi filmmakers. The winners will win an all-expenses-paid trip to Cannes to attend various workshops on filmmaking. Winners from the filmmaking section of The Daily Star's annual 'Celebrating Life' program will be primarily selected for the competition, without requiring prior auditions for the initiative. Every year, the IFIB will send three best filmmakers chosen from the competition to Cannes and Celebrating Life contest winners have a great chance of making it to the renowned film festival.
