Anifest India is here again!
June 1, 2009 by TASI
Filed under Anifest India 2009
Anifest India 2009 is once again being organised in the picturesque IIT Powai campus in Mumbai from 13th to 16 August. With active support from the industry and professionals, this year again there is lots to cheer about since the pre-event organisation activities have started well in advance.
A host of new speakers, new sessions, TV channels, international artists and behind the scene presentations are adding excitement to the lineup. With an aim to encouraging teachers to come out from the shadows, TASI has introduced the teacher/trainer film category to the unique TASI Viewers’ Choice Awards.
As customary, TASI believes that viewers at awards functions should get to see the films that have been entered / pre-selected. This year too all the selected films will be screened for the audience to enjoy and vote. The duration of films for the awards categories has been shortened to 10 mins. This is to ensure that episodic series that were being sent in as short films are segregated and as a result the audience can see more films during the festival. Last year 224 entries were received across the 3 categories.
