Organizing Festivals |
21st Century Films ( A Division of DMES Canada) In collaboration with an Indian partner, we organize the annual Short Film Festival of India Short Film Festival of India (SFFI) showcases works that celebrate diverse cultures, aesthetic traditions, social and political themes and other works that challenge and transcend expectations. Particular focus is on films that go beyond conventional limits and methods and employ novel themes, cutting-edge technology, and unconventional visual effects, although all films-- traditional and provocative-- are welcome. In the past, the festival was held in Chennai and Guwahati We are in the process of organizing a year round rolling festival in India. Return to this site to read about this exciting event in the future. All Submissions should be made through the paper-less system of WITHOUT A BOX SUBMISSION. To apply, click here: Without a Box Submission Site SFFI strikes an eclectic and cosmopolitan balance of films. You might, for instance, watch a somber ten minute social commentary on child labour, followed by an audacious, experimental non-narrative on the Arctic, followed by a bawdy animated short about the romantic entanglements of match-sticks in a box. The spirit of the Festival is a celebration of engaging films whatever their themes are. Only extreme nudity and violence are shunned. |
