Although no documentation exists to confirm it, it has been said that the film industry in Bangladesh was started by a touring theater company owned by John Stevens. He apparently visited Bangladesh between the years 1896 and 1897 to show the first motion pictures in the country. But more likely the firm industry in Bangladesh began with the opening of the Bredford Bioscope Company that started showing films on 24 April 1898. Between 1913 and 1914 a permanent cinema called the Picture House was opened - and after that there was no stopping the film industry in Bangladesh and the creation of Dhallywood.
