For most of the publishers, pavilion planning commenced as early as mid January and the organisers left no stone unturned in terms of planning the layout.
An architectural exhibition titled "Learning from Puran Dhaka: Exploring the Future of Living Heritage" is currently underway at La Galerie of Alliance Française de Dhaka. Organised by a collaborative effort of architecture students from various prestigious universities and supported by distinguished dignitaries, the exhibition aims to shed light on the rich cultural heritage of Puran Dhaka and its significance in shaping the future urban landscape.
With rows upon rows of book stalls offering everything from timeless classics to contemporary bestsellers, navigating through this maze of books can be both exhilarating and overwhelming
In the early days of cinema, Hollywood was instrumental in shaping enduring love narratives that have left a lasting impact on audiences worldwide. Two iconic films from this era, "Casablanca" (1942) and "Gone with the Wind" (1939), exemplify the themes of love, sacrifice, and resilience amidst adversity. As societal attitudes towards love evolved, so did the portrayal of relationships on screen.
“Dhaka Makers”, an independent arts and crafts festival, is a vibrant platform for local artistes to showcase their creativity and connect with like-minded individuals. During my recent visit to the second edition of the event, I was impressed by the diverse range of stalls that highlighted a variety of Bangladeshi artworks.
The intersection of graphic novels and cinema is rather interesting, as these celluloid stories highlight the power of visual storytelling, emotional depth, and thought-provoking themes that continue to redefine the cinematic landscape. Ranging from genres like crime to science fiction, these stories have influenced filmmakers beyond geographical borders.
Bollywood has seen its fair share of love stories, but "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" (DDLJ) has carved a special place in the hearts of audiences across generations. Released in 1995, this classic directed by Aditya Chopra is one of the longest-running films in the history of Indian cinema and continues to charm us even today.
