Launching ceremony of the newly established Television and Film Studies (TFS) Department of Dhaka University (DU) was held on July 23, 2012 at Senate Bhaban of the university.
Chief Justice Md Muzammel Hossain attended the programme as the chief guest with DU Vice-Chancellor Professor AAMS Arefin Siddique in the chair.
US Ambassador in Dhaka Dan W Mozena addressed the function as the special guest while President of International Association for Media and Communication Research (IAMCR) Professor Janet Wasko delivered the keynote speech on "New Challenges for Global Hollywood".
Television and Film Studies (TFS) Department Chairman Dr AJM Shafiul Alam Bhuiyan delivered the welcome speech.
While speaking Muzzamel Hossain hoped the newly established department would play a vital role to flourish the film and television sectors of the country.
Professor Arefin said, "Indeed, our 22-year-old democracy has a lot to learn from the West. For a country such as Bangladesh that is proud of its cultural heritage, there has to be a fine balance between acceptance and rejection of western ideas. Television and film are two significant sectors that can appropriate western ideas and help us devise a democratic model that is our own."
He hoped that the department would contribute to the study of television and film, drawing from the country's historical as well as social contexts and would produce future leaders in the fields of television and film.
