Chittagong Film Centre

'In all arts-Cinema is most important.' But in our country this best media of art is now seized by perverted, rootless, corrupt and low standard mainstream cinema. To create awareness for saving the cinema from this seizing position and to create consciousness about better cinema Chittagong Film Centre reformed its activities since 1st January 1993.

In each session Centre screens more then 25 movies under various sessions, retrospectives & festivals. Besides these screenings CFC also arranges seminar, workshop, study circle, appreciation course etc. CFC has a library after the name of great film maker Ritwik Ghatak. It has its own film journal 'New Wave' and bulletin 'Chitrakriti'. The Centre has its own projection system also. To perform these activities, CFC has two sections, Academy and Technical. And to widen its activities CFC has launched two Associations, Children Film Society (CFS) and Science Fiction Movie Club (SFMC).
