Bangladesh Film Archive keeps thousands of movies safe for future generations. The archive holds 5,445 films from local and foreign makers. Workers store 318 black and white movies alongside 5,127 color films. Six modern storage rooms protect these precious collections from damage. Officials released this information through a recent announcement.
The oldest movie comes from 1895 when The Lumière Brothers created their famous work. Popular films fill the archive's shelves with titles like Dhrub from 1934 and Devdas from 1935. Mukh O Mukhosh appeared during 1956 before A Desh Tomar Amar came out during 1959. More beloved movies like Assia, Kohno Asheni, Suryasnan, Dharapat, Sutarang, Onek Diner Chena, Dui Diganta, and Roopban followed through the 1960s.
Archive workers have started changing old analog films into digital copies. They have already finished converting 160 movies into modern formats. The remaining classic films will receive digital treatment over time through careful planning. This process helps protect old movies from decay and makes them easier to watch.
The government created Bangladesh Film Archive back during 1978. This national organization takes care of collecting movies and keeping them safe. The archive serves as the country's main place for film preservation work.
