History
The Awards were first presented in 1975. The Government of Bangladesh offers National Film Awards to the individuals for notable contributions to the promotion of the art of cinema, specifically for their best performances, and also to the best films and documentaries. Since 1975, The “National Film Award” is a grand event that took place annually through a host of colorful programs, dance and music. Celebrated stars of the Bangladesh film industry showed up dressed in stunning attires for the biggest event of the year that honored noted artistes and technicians for their contribution to Bangladeshi cinema. It is the highest award given for films in Bangladesh. No awards were given in 1981, because the jury board thought no film is competent enough to get an award. The government has announced National film awards for 4 years (2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007) in 2008.
