Too Many Festivals
09.12.2013
It is sad that every
nook and corner of every city in the country wants to host its own film
festival just in the manner every resident wants to bring his Ganesh idol at
home during Ganesh Chaturti. That is the reason none of the film festivals in
India be it Goa, Mumbai, kolkatta or Chennai have made it to the mark of the
international film festivals. Now Navi Mumbai proudly announces its separate
festival Navi Mumbai International Film
Festival (NMIFF) 31 January to 2
February 2014 at the DY Patil
Auditorium in Nerul, one of the largest auditoriums in the city.
Founded with the idea to
showcase the talent and creativity of filmmakers, NMIFF will give a global
exposure to these budding film makers.
The films to be screened have been slotted in three
categories - Student shorts,
Professional shorts and Feature films. These categories are inclusive of
short films, AD films, Animation, Documentaries, Music videos and Social
awareness films. NMIFF will be screening around 22 films throughout the three
days of the festival. The winners will be selected by a panel of esteemed jury
members and awarded with cash prizes and trophies. Sachin Khanna, Festival founder
and Chairman, NMIFF said, “We want Navi Mumbai
to be on the world map.” The registration for
passes can be made online on the film festival’s website at http://www.nmiff.in
