Intellectual Mission & Literary Forum

Uralchitra (literally, "the flying image") serves as the primary intellectual and literary forum of the Bangladesh Film Institute Alumni Association (BFIAA). Dedicated to cultivating critical film discourse in Bangladesh, each edition brings together rigorous scholarly essays, in-depth film analyses, craft memoirs, and interviews with masters of world and South Asian cinema.

This landmark volume features in-depth critical writings by prominent Bangladeshi film scholars, critics, and international commentators on Tanvir Mokammel's oeuvre, covering:

• ▶ The Ethics of Documenting 1971 Analysis of oral history methodologies, civilian memory, and ethical interviewing in the documentary 1971.
• ▶ Riverine Geographies and Displacement Cinematic representations of climate vulnerability, riverbank erosion, and resilience in A Tale of the Jamuna River.
• ▶ Partition Trauma and Enduring Memory Critical reception of Seemantorekha (The Borderline) within South Asian historical and border-studies cinema.
• ▶ Indigenous Voices in Cinema The socio-political stakes and ecological disruption explored in Teardrops of Karnaphuli.

Copies of Uralchitra are preserved in the BFI Library archive and are accessible to students, researchers, film society members, and cultural historians.
