ABOUT FESTIVAL

Welcome to the 8th Bengali Film Festival of Dallas 2025

Srijoner Hut is proud to present the 8th Bengali Film Festival of Dallas on August 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, 2025—a grand celebration of Bengali cinema, culture, and heritage. This year, we are introducing the theme "Nakshi Kantha," a centuries-old embroidered quilt art form that originated in the rural landscapes of Bengal, now part of Bangladesh and India. Beyond the silver screen, the festival will be enriched with a Nakshi Kantha exhibition and a fashion show, curated by Tahsina Shahin, the renowned fashion designer from Sadakalo. This marks the first-ever showcase of Nakshi Kantha fashion in North America, blending tradition with contemporary creativity. Join us in celebrating the artistry, storytelling, and cultural richness of Bengal like never before!
Features

Our Feature

Great film in one place

BFFD showcasing the best and brightest Bengali feature & short films from around the globe, a hub and one place to screen all the major films in the selection.

Networking

Whatever your position in the film industry, or whatever your interest in filmmaking, a film festival is a terrific place to meet new people.

Celebrate Diversity

Films that have similar stories or average production values can undermine a festival's diversity and credibility.

Community Engagement

Festivals create a sense of community, where locals mingle with visiting filmmakers and share their experiences, and react to the work they have seen.

Q AND A’S

BFFD audiences, it’s a contributing element that makes attending film festivals experiential, and therefore more interesting than curling up on the couch with Netflix.
