Artists
A searchable record of artists working with moving image in Bangladesh, both at home and across the diaspora. Each entry carries a biography, a filmography, and links to any of the artist's work showing elsewhere on this site. It is far from complete and never really will be, which is rather the idea. It grows as we find people, and as people find us. The starting point again was an open call for works from Bangladesh and the Bangladeshi diaspora which was made at the end of 2025 as part of the wider Midnight’s Third Child project.
