We received so many brilliant projects that the juries had a really hard time leaving out some of the projects. We didn\u2019t restrict the scripts to any particular theme.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Q:\u00a0Who were the jurors of the screenwriting lab and what do they have to say about the submissions and creativity?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The jurors, who will also mentor the finalists, include Berlinale\u2019s South Asia delegate Meenakshi Shedde of India, film festival programer Hannah Fisher of Canada and film festival programer and producer Meral Melika Duran of France, director and producer Abu Shahed Emon of Bangladesh and art and film critic Moinuddin Khaled of Bangladesh.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The jurors were overwhelmed by the quality of the projects and congratulated not only the winners, but also the projects that couldn\u2019t be selected.

In previous years, West Meets East took place in a seminar format, which had the highest engagement this year. The Covid restrictions forced us to go hybrid, with a limited audience in the physical venue and live broadcast on Facebook. Our reach was much more due to that and we started conversations around the topics discussed such as international co-production, festival strategy and OTT revolution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Q:\u00a0Right now what is your assessment about the future of the film industry in South East Asia and your message to young and upcoming filmmakers in Sri Lanka about the opportunity that DIFF holds for them?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>A:<\/strong>\u00a0We compliment the Sri Lankan writers and directors on the projects that they had sent in. They were beautiful. There is so much potential in the young filmmakers and they can benefit from the networking and funding opportunities DIFF holds. We look forward to more incredible projects from Sri Lanka. The more we collaborate regionally, the greater the chance for South Asian cinema to have a lasting influence in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Q: What will be the arrangement for DIFF 2022?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>A:<\/strong>\u00a0DIFF is organised by Rainbow Film Society, which started its journey in 1977. The festival is the largest film festival in Bangladesh that welcomes around 200 films and over 100 foreign delegates each year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The submission deadline for DIFF 2022 concluded on September 30. We don\u2019t have any strict restrictions for the theme of the films; however, the films should not have any record of being screened in any other Bangladeshi film festival before DIFF. Downloadable links for preview with government censor clearance is a must.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The 20th Dhaka International Film Festival will take place from January 15-23, 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A window to Asian Cinema-BY ANURADHA KODAGODA Source:Sundayobserver There has always been an interest and curiosity in the Western world in understanding more about Asian societies and cultures.
