Jury Citation

The Jury was impressed by the diversity of the films. While the quality in the fiction category was note-worthy, the PSA and the documentary section did not reflect the large body of interesting work by young filmmakers in India. We do hope that we get to showcase more of such work in Cut.In in the years to come. We congratulate all the participants for their creativity, energy and commitment to the medium.
