Film entries for International Children's Film Festival In

Post by Paramvir Singh »

International Children’s Film Festival India (ICFFI) also popularly
known as The Golden Elephant is a biennial festival that strives to
bring the most delightful and imaginative national and international
children’s cinema to young audiences in India. Outstanding features,
shorts, live action and animation films are screened over seven days of
festive celebrations,
attended by more than one hundred thousand children and hundreds of
film professionals from across the world.

ICFFI is organized by Children’s Film Society India (CFSI) – a national
government body committed to nurturing a dynamic children’s film
culture in the country. Since its inception in 1955, CFSI has been
producing, exhibiting and distributing exclusive, entertaining and
enriching content for children.

ICFFI is one of the largest and most colourful children’s film
festivals in the world. A unique feature of the festival is its
audience: more than a hundred thousand children travel from little
villages and towns from across India to view high quality international
children’s cinema that they would never be exposed to otherwise. Here
they rub shoulders with other kids, eminent guests and directors from
different parts of the world.

ICFFI is dedicated to these little delegates and to those imaginative
film-makers who attempt to make films for the toughest audience of all
– children!

We are happy to announce the 17th edition of ICFFI: 14th to 20th
November 2011. The festival will have three Competition Sections:

Competition International,
Competition National,
Competition Little Directors,

apart from special screenings in Non-Competition Section: Children’s
World, The Swedish Pitara, Best of CFSI.

We would welcome receiving entries of films with English sub-titles for
viewing by the Selection Committee as soon as possible. Film makers
whose films are under production can apply and keep us informed of the
progress. Films should be ready by August.

The Rules and Regulations and the Entry Form can be downloaded from the
website www.cfsindia. org, where you will also find more information on
the various sections.
