the prominent producers such as Jamil Chowdhury, Kalim Sharafi, Manirul
Alam, Zaman Ali Khan, and Mustafa Monowar. She actually used to produce
programs for children. She also gave the idea of making drama series for
children. She was even the producer of the first ever drama series for
children named “BhaiBon”. Apart from that she also used to make the
drama series named “Omor Jibon” which used to show stories based on the
legends' biography. Many famous actors and actresses of this age had

Fahmi was also the producer of the program named “Bolun Dekhi” that had
been anchored by Professor Abdul Matin. It has to be mentioned that a
national competition has been held in all the television centers of the
whole Pakistan addressing only this program that has been planned by
Khaleda Fahmi.
The main competition had been held in Rawalpindi television center. Dhaka College has enlightened the name of East Pakistan by being the winner in that competition.
Many students from colleges and universities have participated in the program “Bolun Dekhi” which has let them to participate in many programs at television on later.
And television means the program for only the people living in the city, television means drawing-room media – Khaleda Fahmi has proved these words are false. She started making a folk story based drama called “Hiramon” with folk culture and folk music.
There used to have some songs with the drama episodes of Hiramon. Hiramon could get enough popularity while in cinema world Rupban or folk based stories were being enjoyed by the audiences. Musa Ahmed has worked as a producer for most of the episodes.
Khaleda Fahmi is planning, discussing with Mustafa Monowar, might be producing the program with a junior producer. But, it will be seen after searching that the scripts of the programs for the children at that time have written by the prominent writers such as Munir Chowdhury, Anis Chowdhury and Ashkar Ibn Shaikh. Persons like Pollikobi Jashim Uddin, Begum Sufia Kamal, Jainul Abedin, and Abdullah Al Muti have come to children programs several times as guests. Though Jashim Uddin was a poet (Pollikobi) but he told many stories to the children in their program. Although poet like Ahsan Habib also told many stories for children. People like Bagban bhai Habibur Rahman, Dadabhai Rokonujjaman Khan and Dadubhai Rafiqul Haque were involved with children based program. But now, do we see the people in any children based program those who are not related to that?
At that time person like Dr. Kudrat – E – Khuda has come to the program for children as a guest. People like Jainul Abedin and Kamrul Hasan also used to attend the children based program.
The idea of bringing so many prominent personalities to perform in the children based programs has been portrayed by Khaleda Fahmi. Apart from that Mustafa Monowar also has crucial contributions regarding children based programs. But when Khaleda Fahmi was the head of the program in television she used to take care of the children based programs regularly.

INTL FILM JAFAR PANAHI
By S.M. Intisab Shahriyar
Born
in Mianeh in Iran, Jafar Panahi spent his formative years under the
reign of the Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi before joining the army. After
the 1979 Revolution and the installation of the populist theocracy of
the Ayatollah Khomeini, he enrolled in the directing course at the
College of Cinema and TV in Tehran. Here he worked in the film archive,
which afforded him access to Western and Hollywood films which were
otherwise banned in the newly-zealous Iranian society.
After a number of several television projects, Panahi worked as assistant director to Abbas Kiarostami on Through the Olive Trees (1994). The following year, Panahi directed The White Balloon which was universally praised, winning the Camera d'Or for best first feature at Cannes alongside awards at festivals as geographically dispersed as Tokyo and São Paolo. Centring on the travails of a girl who wants to buy a goldfish, it became a hit on the worldwide art-house circuit.
His following film - The Mirror (1997) - again dealt with a young girl, this time making her way home from school, and again Panahi reaped success on the international circuit, being awarded the Golden Leopard at Locarno among others.
Renowned for the social nature of his films, Panahi is avowedly apolitical - although the Iranian theocrats may disagree. The Circle, his 2000 offering, was a passionate profile of the plight of women under a militarist Islamist regime. Despite winning five awards at the Venice Biennale that year, including the Golden Lion, the film has been banned in Iran, and its success resulted in Panahi's temporary arrest on his return from Venice. In a bizarre parallel, he was again arrested in 2001 when changing planes in New York, this time by American authorities while promoting the film.
In 2003 he worked again with Kiarostami - this time as scriptwriter - and the resultant Crimson Gold (2003) won Panahi the Jury Award in the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes.
Continuing his stellar career, Panahi was awarded a Silver Bear at the Berlinale for Offside (2006), his tale of gender segregation among Iranian football fans in the run-up to the 2006 World Cup. In January 2015 it was announced that Panahi's film Taxi was scheduled to premiere in competition at the 65th Berlin International Film Festival. Panahi was awarded the Golden Bear for the film at the festival.
Panahi is married to Tahereh Saidi. Together they have a son, Panah Panahi, born in 1984 and a daughter, Solmaz Panahi. Panah Panahi attended the University of Tehran and in 2009 made his first short film, The First Film, which was screened at the 2009 Montreal World Film Festival. His daughter Solmaz studied theater in Tehran.
