DU Film Society and UNDP is organising Inter-University Short Film Festival

Dhaka University Film Society (DUFS), in association with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Bangladesh, is organising the 15th International Inter-University Short Film Festival (IIUSFF). The theme of this year's festival is 'Youth-led Climate Action.'

With the slogan, 'Take Your Camera, Frame Your Dream,' the International Inter-University Short Film Festival (IIUSFF) started its journey in 2007. 

This year, the 15th edition of the festival has witnessed a huge turn-out of student filmmakers worldwide, with a staggering total of 1671 films from 96 countries. 

"The collaboration with UNDP underscores the commitment of both our organisations to leverage the power of film to amplify the voices of the youth and advocate for climate action," said Teertha Protim Das, President of DUFS.

As climate change poses the most critical global challenge today, IIUSFF, one of the biggest film festivals for university-going student filmmakers in Bangladesh and beyond, aims to inspire the young generation to take charge of their future through the lens of filmmaking. 

The festival will encompass various activities, including film screenings, panel discussions, publications, art camps and more, providing an immersive experience for participants and viewers alike. 

A total of 200 films, officially selected from 1671 films, will be screened countrywide throughout October and November. The selected films from the submissions will be screened over the country's seven divisions (Sylhet, Mymensingh, Chattogram, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal and Dhaka), including ten university campuses.
