    A pathetic film festival with ZERO communication and transparency. If there were negative value, I'd mark it -10. Total lack of updates, no clarity on anything... super disappointing. Other Bangladeshi film festivals I've been to were great, so this one's a major letdown.

    Response from festival:

    This submitter thinks she owns the world, where all the films submitted to our festival are getting praise from the submitters, she is making fabricated lies, from the beginning. she tries to get extra benefits by making unnecessary contacts without any intention, showing extra favors, the festival authorities see all the submitters as equals. She is making these lies because we did not given extra benefits. She given false information, we accepted only two year (film competed date to Festival date 2 year), her filmbis completed July 2023, and Festival time is 2025, December.
