Dhaka International Cultural Film Festival 7.5

Festival overview

About Dhaka International Cultural Film Festival 7.5

Physical film festival with submission categories including Premium Offer and Exclusive Offer.

Festival is a live screening film festival, in Bangladesh. Every month films from the different categories are officially selected and out of them, at least one per category is awarded.

The participants get excellent opportunities to exchange their ideas, ideologies and cultural diversities through screening, interview sessions and panel discussions. VISION OF DICFF Apart from its colourful history and rich cultural traditions, Bangladesh has also emerged as a prime place for film production.

Our vision is to present a global platform for budding talents and support independent filmmakers to showcase their creativity and give recognition to them in front of a global audience. What Makes Us Different

SCORE AND DETAILED REVIEW BY HONORABLE CRITICS: We provide the rating of the film along with a detailed review as scores written by the honourable critic. This will help to enhance the promotion of films and develop a Wikipedia page in future.

INTERVIEW: Winners will get the chance to give a special interview which will be conducted by the esteemed portal Cult Critic. PROMOTION: Special promotional posts for the winners on social media pages.

DISTRIBUTION AND MONETIZING: In collaboration with CANVAS, Winners will get the chance to monetize their project by either streaming their film on CANVAS ADS (where you can earn revenue by generating more views on your film) or CANVAS ON DEMAND ( where the viewer has to pay a certain amount to watch your film) and we will especially promote that film.
