According to the organisers necessary preparatory work in this regard is already underway. During the 19th DIFF, organizers expect to screen about 200 films, with participation from around 60 countries.

As DIFF organisers will use online screening for the first time, movie lovers will need to register in order to watch the films virtually. 

The screening will also be held at the Alliance Francaise de Dhaka, Star Cineplex, Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy, Central Public Library Auditorium and Bangladesh National Museum Auditorium.

Organised by Rainbow Film Society the Dhaka International Film Festival (DIFF) brings together film-makers, critics, and film lovers from all over the world, under one roof in Bangladesh and the capital becomes an epitome of better films.
