It is nice to attend such a big event. Thanx to the organisers. Though we stay far end from Mumbai, it is nice of you if you organise this event in Kolkata then thousand of students and teacher from north east states along with few adjouring states ( round about 12 states) will be benefitted and can be easy to spread this line of Arts to the intertested people.
with best regards and wish you a grand success.

vaibhav kumaresh on Wed, 16th Sep 2009 5:04 pm
hi ravi,
i guess i replied to you on CGT forum. there’s just one standard pass for all 3 days. its transferable so your friend can attend day 3 if you don’t want to. you can make a spot registration at the fest venue. be there by 8.30 for sure. there’s lunch and snacks included in your pass. I assure you it wont be a waste of your money!
thanks birju,
Neha,
yes you can use the same pass. don’t forget to carry it along with the receipt of your payment and your ID proof.
thanks all, we too are excited and looking forward to the event, so see you all soon!

vaibhav kumaresh on Wed, 23rd Sep 2009 4:12 pm
Hi vaibhav,
Apologies for any hurt caused.
On the TVCA front we expect our Indian film makers to compete on the same level as any other film maker. Therefore the contest was open to the whole world. And you know who won it, right?
Regarding TASI’s stand on supporting Indian animation, did you guys attend the Entertaining India sessions?
