As in previous years, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has invited submissions for full-length and short film proposals to be considered for government grants. While the initial deadline for submitting the story, screenplay, and overall production plan was April 7 at 4pm, it has now been extended to April 27.

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has announced changes to the National Film Awards 2023 jury board. The board, initially reformed on September 15, has undergone modifications with new members appointed in place of some earlier listed names. 

The film industry continues to face significant challenges as most cinemas remain closed, and the few that have reopened are struggling due to a lack of new releases. Filmmakers are hesitant to debut their projects in this climate, forcing theatre owners to rely on screening older films. 

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting is expected to issue directives for the board's restructuring within the next week, according to a source at the censor board.

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting during a recent committee meeting announced that it is changing policies regarding the selection process of grant-in-aid films to ensure integrity. Under the new process, the final selection of films will be made across multiple stages with cinema experts getting involved throughout the entire process.

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting of Bangladesh has recently authorised the registration of nine online news portals and eight online newspapers across the country, according to two circulars issued by the ministry on November 20. 

On a global scale, there are very few Censor Boards, rather it is more common for countries to have Certification Boards.
