Adda is all set to organise the ninth edition of its short film festival, which has been providing aspiring filmmakers with a platform to showcase their creativity in front of a greater audience.
The organisers will celebrate the Ninth Adda Short Film Festival 2012 in a grand way. This time it will be a two-day event — December 8 and 9 at District Library — instead of a daylong one. Seminars and workshops in the presence of national award-winning film personalities will be held to encourage budding filmmakers.
Adda has been holding short film festival for more than a decade now to popularise short films. Through these festivals it not only tries to encourage short filmmakers but also makes people aware of short films.
“For the first time this year, we have planned to organise the short film festival with a two-day programme. Seminars and workshops, graced by national award-winning filmmakers, will be held for the benefit of upcoming filmmakers,” said Debajit Gayan, an office-bearer of Adda.
The organisers have invited entries from filmmakers for the festival. “Films based on fiction and animation with maximum 15-minute duration and non-fiction with maximum duration of 30 minutes will only be accepted,” an organiser said.
The festival will be held in three sections — invited, screening and competition.
Participants from outside the Northeast and abroad can submit their films in soft copy format along with a summary, director’s bio-filmography, and stills of the film to Adda’s office mail available on their website www.addaguwahati.com.
“Award will be given in the categories of best short film, best documentary film, best animation film, best film from the Northeast and jury’s special mention,” Gayan said.
Adda was formed in 1995 when a group of young workers in different branches of cinema started meeting regularly at Rajgarh Link Road opposite Gauhati Commerce College.
