Asia’s Largest Content Creation Festival, India Film Project Proudly Makes a Comeback for Season 8
by Shrutee K/DNS
India Film Project’s 8th season is not just about
films or filmmaking. It’s about literature, music and creating content
The festival will welcome some of the biggest names
in the film, music and content industry like Vikramaditya Motwane, Juhi Chaturvedi,
Raghu Dixit, Ashwin Sanghi, and Bhuvan Bam
Since
its inception in 2011, India Film Project has actively built a community of
content creators across varying forms of art. The festival began with a one of
a kind 50-hour filmmaking challenge; 7 years later, it has evolved into
bringing together other forms of art primarily writing, designing and
storytelling.
The
8th season of India Film Project aims to be the ultimate destination and
platform for writers, storytellers, poets, composers, filmmakers, cinematographers
and editors to let their creativity be recognised and thrive. As the festival
has promised to be bigger and better this year, 35,000 participants from over 20 countries and 300 cities have already
created and submitted over 1700 short films; the highest participation the
festival has seen in the last 8 years! With numerous efforts, India Film
Project is now considered as one of the world’s largest conglomeration of
content experts and aspiring creative content creators, giving people a chance
to learn through each other’s talents and ideas.
The
8th season of the festival will focus on two primary formats:
The revered 50-Hour Filmmaking Challenge
will be more aggressive and competitive this year, with over 35,000 filmmakers
and 10,000 minutes of short story content to be generated. The theme will be
revealed at the beginning of 50 hours on September 28th at 8pm. The categories
include Professional Filmmaking, Amateur Filmmaking and Mobile
Filmmaking. The winners in the professional and amateur categories of this
challenge receive epic DJI Drones.
India Film
Project Festival: The discussions at the festival will do a deep dive
into the 3C’s of content creation:
Creating ideas, books, music, films
or screenplays
Collaborating through interactive
knowledge sharing sessions
Celebrating curated pieces of content
across films, literature, music and digital
This season also promises an impressive
line-up and insightful conversations with names like Bhuvan Bam - one of
India’s most popular YouTubers who will talk about the future of comedy in
India, celebrated author Ashwin
Sanghi will discuss how to effectively tell Indian stories in India,
talented filmmaker Vikramaditya
Motwane and humorous film critic Rajeev Masand will converse on constructive movie
criticism, legendary musician Raghu Dixit will share his views on the
future of indie music and how the internet works as a catalyst, award winning
screenplay writer Juhi Chaturvedi
will share her arduous journey laced with tremendous hard-work and
perseverance to make a mark in a male dominated industry, and popular columnist
Aseem Chhabra will
talk about Satyajit Ray’s sci-fi script, Travails with
the Alien, something he wrote much before Hollywood produced ET and Close
Encounters.
“With season 8, IFP is set
to strongly establish itself as a premium destination for celebrating content
in the country. We have expanded our horizons of content from filmmaking to
literature, digital and music, since we believe that creators are becoming
field agnostic and open to exploring multiple formats. We are also introducing
a mixer stage at the festival this year, a place for people from similar
professions to network and collaborate over projects. With the 50-hour
filmmaking challenge this year, we are seeing a lot of professional filmmaker
participation, as well as a surge in the mobile filmmaking category. With
mobiles delivering great video results, a lot of amateurs are picking up
mobiles to tell their story.” said Ritam Bhatnagar, Founder, India Film
Project
