Kochi: A world record holder
of short films Dr. Sandeep Marwah inaugurated a new festival of short digital
films under the title ‘Mini Movie Festival’ by Clubby at Kochi in Kerala.
“The digitization and
reduction in cost of film making have given many more people to showcase their
creativity through films. We need many film promoters to come forward to extend
help to young minds to explore their talent through these kind of festivals,”
said Dr. Sandeep Marwah President of Marwah Studios while lighting the
ceremonial lamp at the inauguration.
“I appreciate the idea of
inviting short films in many languages, as the language of cinema is only
emotions. Short films give you immense opportunity to project your ideas,
capabilities and capacity to make films.
A lot can be spoken through these short films. Many new avenues are available to present your
short films,” added Dr. Marwah at the festival.
The festival is designed and
promoted by Vishnu Surendernath-CEO, Vipin Varada-CPO and Ananthakrishnan-COO with George V. Anthony as their mentor. Renowned
