In response to growing audience demand, Star Cineplex continues to expand its network of multiplex cinemas across the country. As part of this initiative, a brand-new branch is set to be opened in Dhaka's Uttara area on Eid day.

"Located at the shopping arcade Centrepoint near the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, the new branch of the popular multiplex is being launched as a special Eid gift for moviegoers," said Cineplex authorities to local media. From Eid day onwards, audiences will be able to enjoy films at this newly built cinema.

Mesbah Uddin Ahmed, senior manager of Media and Marketing at Star Cineplex, stated that the Uttara area has long awaited its own branch. "We've received countless requests—both online and in person—from residents of Uttara to open a branch here. We're thrilled to finally make that happen," he said.

The new multiplex will feature four auditoriums: one VIP hall (83 seats), one Royal hall (48 seats), and two Premium halls (175 and 331 seats respectively). Like its other branches, this one promises a world-class cinematic experience with modern amenities, giant screens, and state-of-the-art sound systems.

Mesbah Uddin added that this location was chosen with convenience in mind, especially for residents of Uttara, Tongi, Savar, and Gazipur, who often face long commutes and traffic congestion to reach existing branches.

Star Cineplex, the country's first multiplex cinema, has gained popularity for its high-quality environment and technology. It currently operates branches in Bashundhara City Shopping Mall, Shimanto Shambhar, SKS Tower, the Military Museum, and Sony Square in Mirpur.​

Information and Broadcasting Adviser Md Mahfuj Alam today urged Bangladesh Film Archive (BFA) to take initiative to digitalise film archives for protecting films.

He said, “Bangladesh Film Archive must take initiatives to digitalise the archiving methods and for this the institution must be empowered with more capabilities”.

The adviser made the remark at a view exchange meeting after visiting the institute at Agargaon.

Outlining the necessity of film archiving, the adviser said, “The archive has long been playing a crucial role in protecting different kinds of historical documents with cultural and traditional values and safeguarding foreign films in the country”.

“The institution must take initiatives to collect and protect more film documentaries based on the history and culture of Bangladesh,” he added.

He stressed the need for documenting at least 50-year-old elements from old institutional archives like Bangla Academy, Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy and Dhaka University.

Mahfuz called for preserving the writings and interviews of veteran and talented filmmakers and preparing a digital catalogue of all films preserved in the archive to ease film researchers’ and students’ research works.

The adviser assured that the government will provide all-out cooperation in increasing the capacity of the film archive.

Director General of Bangladesh Film Archive Md. Abdul Jalil delivered the address of welcome.

Film archive director Farhana Rahman and other officials and employees of the institution attended the meeting, among others.

Earlier, the adviser visited the projection hall, film museum, film hospital, film vault and library of the film archive.​
