Mini Boxoffice, a celluloid forum which has been successfully conducting the Bangalore Short Film Festival (BSFF) since the last two years, is all set to hold the third edition of the festival. The one-day event will be held on June 21.
May 31 is the deadline for film makers to send their entries in short film, documentary, animation and music video categories. Awards would be given for all categories.
They include: special festival mention, special jury mention, best director, best cinematography, best editing, best screenplay and best FFX, best actor, best actress, best original music, best background music, best film, best animation production institution (academic) and best film production house.
According to Rambhul Singh, festival director, Mini Boxoffice is a movement to recognize and popularise the work of young and experienced filmmakers from country and abroad. BSFF’s journey had begun in the year 2012 to mark 100 years of the Indian cinema and to salute the contribution of the Kannada film industry towards the development of cinema in India. The festival would provide a platform to aspiring and professional filmmakers for showcasing their talent with networking and marketing opportunities in film industry.
The objective of the BSFF is to promote a short film culture in India besides promoting the work of upcoming filmmakers and developing sources of revenue generation for short films. “BSFF-12 and 13 were great successes with a formidable participation of filmmakers from across the country and abroad. BSFF-14 aims to be even bigger and better,” Mr. Singh said.
