With an objective to become a platform to identify country’s diverse and creative talent, this film festival shall make an effort to evolve Ahmedabad as an Independent film capital of India. This festival intends to draw film makers from across the globe and from various demographics to showcase their passion and creativity. This festival also aims to educate masses about the nuances of a Short Film.
Talking about this initiative, Shiladitya Bora, Founder, FulMarxx shares, “Our fest is certain to be an eye-catching success. So far in our debut year we have already generated a vast amount of interest from the film making community and media outlets. In India, when we talk of short films, a majority of people think that it’s a documentary film, it’s an art film, it cannot be entertaining, and it needs to have a socially relevant message. We at FulMarxx are not in full agreement with this. We see short films as an entertainment medium complete in itself.”
The festival will witness competition across four categories: (i) Micro Shorts: run time up to 10 minutes; (ii) Mini Shorts: run time up to 20 minutes and (iii) Long Shorts: run time up to 30 minutes (iv) Full Shorts: run time up to 45 mins. A total of 10 films will be short listed in each category for the final screening at Wide Angle, the festival venue. The festival accepts all film styles: Documentary, Experimental, Animation and Narrative.
