3 cultural icons to be honoured at The Daily Star-Standard Chartered Celebrating Life 2019
Renowned actor Sarah Begum Kabori, musical legend Syed Abdul Hadi and eminent theatre director Syed Jamil Ahmed will receive lifetime achievement awards at this year’s The Daily Star-Standard Chartered Celebrating Life. This is the 12th iteration of the programme. The ceremony will be held on October 25, 2019, at the International Convention City Bashundhara (ICCB). “It has been years since I started working in the film industry. However, every achievement brings about a new joy and fills my heart with new inspirations,” says Kabori.
The theme for this year’s festival is “Folk Heritage of Bangladesh”, informs festival director Rafi Hossain. Submissions are welcomed from all around the country in three categories: lyrics, photographs and short films.
Celebrating Life began its journey as a national-level contest in 2008. Many established names of the film, music and photography sectors today found their footing with this unique competition, which looks to encourage and reward aspiring talents who have the potential to be staples of the industry. The contest introduces a new theme every year for the contestants.
