The International Film Institute (IFI), Thrissur, will conduct a Monsoon Film Festival in August. The institute will also organise a 10-day-long short-film workshop.
In a press meet here on Monday, short-film director Sandeep Pampally said that the workshop would be the first of its kind producing many short-films and helping candidates promote their films.
The camp will be conducted on the IFI campus in 10 categories associated with the film field. Ten delegates can participate in each section. Around 20 short-films will be made during the workshop and will be sent to international film festivals in the country. The films will also be broadcast on television.
Technical facilities and equipment needed for film production, food and accommodation will be provided free of cost to the participants. Film scripts of 30, 15 and 10-minute duration have been invited for the workshop.
Entries have been invited for short-films, documentaries, cartoons, campus films, children’s films, advertisement films and home cinema. Short-film competition will be in 10 minutes, 30 minutes and 60-minutes categories.
Awards will be given for the best short film, director, actor, actress, editor, music director, singer male and female and make-up. Admission to the workshop will be given on a first-come-first-served basis. Entries for the film festival should be received on or before July 31.
