Festival director of DIMFF 2022, Zerin Tasnim Tahsin Prova said, ''We started taking submissions from the 3rd of April and so far we have received 153 films from 31 countries. As the first female festival director, for me and DIMFF 2022, this is a huge success I think. We first started as a club within the university in 2015 and now we have reached an international level. We are overwhelmed with the support we have received.
To break the stigma that one needs studio worthy equipment to make a good film, DIMFF (Dhaka International Film Festival) started its journey back in 2015 with the motto “New generation, New tools, New communication.”
