Bangladesh Film Directors Association

The Bangladesh Film Directors Association is the pan-national trade body of film directors in Bangladesh.[1][2] The association's general secretary is Badiul Alam Khokon.[3] Mushfiqur Rahman Gulzar is the president of the association.[4][5]

Controversies

On 30 July 2016 the association organized a protest rally outside of Bangladesh National Press Club to protest against the government decision to allow the screening of a number of Hindi movies in local theaters.[6]

In April 2017 the association banned its members from working with Shakib Khan after he made comments in the press criticizing directors.[7][8]
