As of today, Monday, Ilias Kanchan has officially stepped down from his role on the board.
A new set of jury board members has been announced who would be selecting the recipients for the National Film Award 2023. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting disclosed this in a gazette published this evening.
Following the fall of the former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government, widespread reforms are sweeping across the country. Every sector is changing, with new measures being implemented. The film industry is also poised to experience this wave of transformation. During Sheikh Hasina's tenure, several films were banned by the censor board, but now, the industry anticipates a shift in regulations and greater creative freedom.
For nearly a week, the streets of Dhaka have been operating without the proper traffic police force. In their absence, students have taken it upon themselves to manage traffic regulations across the capital, earning widespread praise from the city's residents. Among those joining the students in this effort is the renowned actor and chairman of the Nirapad Sarak Chai (NISCHA), Ilias Kanchan.
Actor and current president of the Bangladesh Film Artistes’ Association (BFAA) Ilias Kanchan has extended his congratulations to the newly elected leaders, Misha Sawdagar and Monowar Hossain Dipjol. He shared his thoughts on the recently concluded election, on his social media platform.
The Bangladesh Film Artistes' Association (BFAA) is poised for its biennial election today, with 571 voters set to cast their ballots. Amongst them, 50 are new voters, reflecting a potential shift in the association's dynamics. This follows the landmark decision in the previous election where the Ilias Kanchan-Nipun Akter panel secured victory and reinstated voting rights to 103 previously excluded artistes, signaling winds of change within the association.
The tenure of the current committee of the Bangladesh Film Artists' Association is nearing its end. Accordingly, the new date for the 2024-26 committee election has been finalised. It is scheduled to take place on April 19 at the Bangladesh Film Development Corporation (BFDC). In anticipation of this, both current and former leaders of the association are busy forming panels.
Meanwhile, it has also been confirmed that Dipjol will contest from a separate panel.
