Is the competition only 4 student filmmakers…
The competition is for student filmmakers above the age of 18 and accepts films that have been made between 1st January 2008 and 15 December 2009.
I made the films which i want to submit, while studying at my college during April 2009. They are student projects, but i graduated in May this year. Can i still submit my films? I can get certificate from my institute recommending my work done during my stay in the college.
Dear Deepika,
You can submit any films made between 1st January 2008 and 15 December 2009 as long as they are certified by your college. We look forward to your entries. Please attach a separate entry form to every entry.
All the best!
I have passed the institute in Jan.2009. Should I still need to submit the bona fide from the institution?
Dear Prateek,
We would need some kind of proof that your film was made while you were still a student. Since this festival is only for student films, any film made by you after you have passed out of an institution will not be eligible for the competition.
Hi,
So that means that though our films were made while we were a part of our college, they wont be a part of the competition?
Awaiting your reply.
Regards
Deepika
No, Deepika. It means that the films we made after we passed out from the institute will not be considered for the competetion.-

Will a passing certificate that mentions the dates my course started and ended suffice?
Sept 2008 to October 2009 to be precise
My PSA is in Hindi and it is without subtitle. Does it lie under ur criteria of acceptance?
Dear Taha,
Please do send in your entry. All the Best!
Hey,
The copyright of the film i made as a student lies with the college. The film also says so…need i submit a letter with it?
Waiting for your response.
Dear Sonali,
You wouldnt need to submit the letter.
All the best!
