Video Production in Chittagong
Libanza Films produces corporate AVs, factory films, TVCs and documentaries in Chittagong (Chattogram), Bangladesh's port city and largest export-manufacturing hub. Our Dhaka crew handles everything on the ground — from Export Processing Zone access to port permissions and coastal locations.
Recent Work in Chittagong
CEPZ apparel group · Corporate AV series
Three brand AVs for Technical Apparels, Outdoor Apparels and Delmas Apparels, plus a master AV bringing all three together, filmed inside Chittagong Export Processing Zone, alongside product photography and 360° product video for 30 products.
What the location demanded: filming live production floors inside an EPZ meant coordinating zone entry passes, working around shift changes and keeping buyer-confidential styles off camera.
Chittagong Locations We Film
Karnaphuli River & Fishery Ghat
Working boats, fish landings and river traffic at first light — strong for documentaries, trade stories and brand films with real texture.
Patenga Beach
Sea-facing lifestyle and music video backdrops near the river mouth, with ships at anchor on the horizon. Drone use here is restricted because of the nearby airport.
Sitakunda
Hills, Chandranath temple trails, Guliakhali's green coastline and the ship-breaking yards — the yards need negotiated access and careful editorial handling.
We also film at Foy's Lake, the Karnaphuli Tunnel approaches, CEPZ, the Korean EPZ in Anwara and the city's hillside neighbourhoods.

Who Commissions Video in Chittagong
Chittagong handles the large majority of Bangladesh's sea trade and is home to the country's first export processing zone, opened in 1983. That makes it one of the most production-relevant cities outside Dhaka for:
- RMG and EPZ exporters — factory capability films, compliance videos and buyer presentations for CEPZ and KEPZ units.
- Steel, shipbuilding and heavy industry — corporate AVs, safety training and investor films for the city's industrial groups.
- Port, shipping and logistics — operations films, terminal documentation and recruitment videos.
- Pharmaceuticals and consumer goods — plant tours, product videos and OVCs.
- Tourism and hospitality — destination films for Patenga, Foy's Lake and the road south to Cox's Bazar.
Corporate AV starts from BDT 3,50,000, shoot-based OVCs from BDT 2,50,000 and TVCs from BDT 5,50,000, with travel and accommodation itemised separately. Explore Corporate AV production.
Video Production in Chittagong — FAQs
Corporate AV production in Chittagong starts from BDT 3,50,000, shoot-based OVCs from BDT 2,50,000 and TVCs from BDT 5,50,000. Because the core crew and cinema equipment travel from Dhaka, a Chittagong quote also includes crew travel, accommodation and a travel day, all itemised separately.
Chittagong is about 250 kilometres from Dhaka. By road, which is how equipment travels, the journey usually takes 5 to 7 hours depending on traffic. Key crew can fly to Shah Amanat International Airport in under an hour. Most shoots budget one travel day each way.
Yes. Libanza Films films inside Chittagong Export Processing Zone (CEPZ) and other EPZ units, coordinating entry passes with the zone authority and the factory's compliance team during pre-production. Production-floor schedules, safety rules and buyer confidentiality are agreed in advance so filming does not disrupt operations.
Yes, with permission. Port filming requires approval from the port authority, which typically adds 2 to 4 weeks. Ship-breaking yard access in Sitakunda is negotiated directly with yard owners, usually USD 100 to 500 per yard per day. Foreign crews also need a Ministry of Information filming permit, which takes 10 to 21 working days.
Yes, with Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) approval, which typically takes 3 to 4 weeks in yellow zones. Patenga Beach and the port sit close to Shah Amanat International Airport, so drone work there is heavily restricted and must be planned well in advance.
November to February offers dry weather and clear light, which suits beach, hill and aerial work. June to September brings heavy monsoon rain, and coastal shoots in April to May and October to November should allow for cyclone risk. Factory and indoor corporate shoots can run year-round.
