Note From Organizers

"Film as dream, film as music.” No art passes our conscience in the way film does, and goes directly to our feelings, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls." - Ingmar Bergman
Above words conveys the power of Cinema in shaping the society. Films know no boundaries, no doors and can act as a catalyst for change. In today’s context, more and more filmmakers are using their projects as centerpieces of action campaigns, prolonging the impact the film has and turning awareness about an issue into action that brings about real change.
