Dhaka: Bengal Foundation is organising Bengal Cinematheque featuring the films and ideas of cinema’s greatest auteurs, shown at the highest quality, to encourage a community of emerging film-makers, writers and programmers in Bangladesh.

The third cycle of Bengal Cinematheque will begin on 7 November at Daily Star-Bengal Arts Precinct in Dhaka.

‘The third cycle of the event inflames our greed for the traumas and pleasures of our past and then reveals to us their brutal, unbridgeable distance’, said the organisers.

Chris Marker’s La Jetée, a 1962 French science fiction, will be screened on 7 November 2015 at 7:00pm.

The film will be followed by screening of Statues Also Die (Les statues meurent aussi in French) by a 1953 French essay film directed by Alain Resnais, Chris Marker, and Ghislain Cloquet about historical African art and the effects colonialism has had on how it is perceived.

The next film to be shown is Night and Fog (Nuit et brouillard in French), a 1955 French documentary short film directed by Alain Resnais.

On the next day Hitchcock’s Marnie will be screened at 7:00pm.
