Manhattan Short, a short film festival, for its sixth edition in India, is back on Indian soil. It is giving the talented filmmakers in the country, an opportunity to showcase films on their website. The coveted film festival has asked the filmmakers to submit films and documentaries by July 31. Joining hands with them is Vivanta by Taj and Pocket Films.
Giving wings to the creator’s imaginations, this year’s entries can span any subject that the participating filmmakers can present cinematically within 18 minutes. The film movement that commences now will culminate in a six-day festival across the world held between September 25 and October 4, 2015. Unlike other festival which comprise a jury, Manhattan Short is fueled with the voice of the audience which will be collected on their website www.manhattanshortindia.com.The 10 final entries will be screened across Manhattan Short venues around the world including Mumbai. The eventual winner will again be decided by audience voting.
As done in the past the first three winners of the India chapter will be given a chance to make a short film for VivantaByTaj. Also one of the winners will win an air ticket to fly to the Manhattan Short Film Festival in New York. Pocket Films will also offer distribution opportunity to all entrants for their films.
