Kolkata: “Cinemar Samabartan honoured some of the best works done by the film fraternity in the year 2022. The competition was intense and we had a tough time in deciding on the award winners. The somewhat eerie emptiness of the now desolate iconic Gem Cinema, which has screened so many Jubilees till the early 90’s, made us choose it as the venue for this year’s award ceremony. Over the years, Bengali cinema has grown leaps and bounds in all aspects – from directions to performances to technology. We welcome this change and look forward to the best of creative works from everybody involved in the creative process of film making. With the Bengali film industry getting the desired boost with the success of the last few releases of 2022, we can only hope for the better days ahead”, said Mr Nirmal Dhar, Secretary, West Bengal Film Journalists’ Association (WBFJA).
