Khona Talkies – Bangladesh
Khona Talkies was established in 2008 with the vision of using young Bangladeshi talent to produce films in a local terrain with possible foreign coproduction and creative tie-ups. Since its inception, it has produced and acquired a few award-winning and internationally acclaimed as well as locally significant independent films by young filmmakers. Khona Talkies aims to explore issues and topics that are otherwise censored and tabooed. We seek international co-production and distribution partnerships in different stages of our projects.
