As a part of mass media, cinema plays very effective role in shaping audience perception. There is a common idea that every film is political. On the basis of that thought an ideology always works to produce the films. But from a theoretical perspective, the film makes its audience conscious about their real life condition of existence. It also calls viewers for taking stand against the prevailing ideology through its content and form, which serves a political purpose. This type of films can be defined as political film.
Very few films, made in Bangladesh, worked as a language of protest. That could be understood in relation to Third Cinema, the most advanced version of political cinema. This book is published on the basis of a research titled 'Political Cinema in Bangladesh: A Dialogue with Third Cinema'. In this research, the researcher explored two of the most provocative political films made after independence of Bangladesh. And that also investigated the purpose of the films in that socio-political context.
The rigorous discussion between Bangladeshi political films and Third Cinema initiated in this book will help the readers to understand the importance of making political films in establishing an exploitation free society. It will also help the future filmmakers and researchers to understand the significance of employing methodological experiments to make influential films.
