Researchers, filmmakers, cultural activists and guests from various professional backgrounds are expected to attend the event and share their thoughts on indigenous language cinema and cultural representation in Bangladesh.

Directed by Pradip Ghosh, the 18-minute-long short film will be screened on February 23 at the Matribhasha Chalachitra Utsab 2025 (Mother Language Film Festival) in the capital’s Dhanmondi area. The film captures the Mro people’s struggles, familial ties, and cultural identity, offering a rare insight into one of the country’s lesser-known indigenous communities.
