Proshoon Rahmaan, the writer and director of the film, said, "For me, the festival is not merely a gathering of enthusiasts, but a rendezvous of kindred spirits, united by our shared passion for storytelling in its purest form."

"A good festival always aims to create opportunities to meet new voices, network, share thoughts, dreams, and experiences we've had through our respective journeys, and of course, celebrate the magic of cinema."

He also added that "Dear Satyajit" is more than just a film. it's a heartfelt journey that explores the depths of human experience through the art of storytelling.

"Dear Satyajit" is a tribute film commemorating the birth centenary of the legendary Bengali filmmaker Satyajit Ray and it is Proshoon Rahmaan's love letter to cinema.

Veteran actor Ahmed Rubel portrayed the lead character in the film, who tragically passed away last February and was supposed to attend the festival in person with the director.
