Bangladeshi Art and Culture (http://www.bangla2000.com/Bangladesh/art-&-culture.shtm)
Bangladesh has a mixed culture. Her deep rooted heritage is amply reflected in her architecture, literature, dance drama, music and painting. Bangladeshi culture is influenced by three great religions- Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam in successive order, with Islam having the most pervading and lasting impact.

Virtual Bangladesh (http://www.virtualbangladesh.com/culture/movies.html)
It was not until 1956 that the first full-length feature film was produced in Bangladesh. At present the industry is capable of producing around 60 feature films per year. The films of Bangladesh display a pattern similar to those of other countries of the subcontinent. The themes range from social and historical to fantasies and fairy-tales.
