Theme & Outline[edit | edit source]
Called 'Cinemar Samabartan' (Convocation of Cinema or Carnival of Films), the festival will have the tag line 'Cinemar Moja Cinemar Hall E' (you can truly enjoy the charm of films by watching on big screen) as the campaign to bring back the audience to the cinema halls and multiplexes which is incomparable with OTT.[2]
