As a member of The Work-in-Progress Film Festival Group I have been wondering about the breadth and range of topics that various student filmmakers from across the country and the world have been working on. There are some personal stories - of love and loss, there are topical ones - like terrorism, animal rights, there are abstract films - about not much at first glance but when you delve deeper probably you'll find your own meaning.
A colleague and I have been inspired by the range of issues/topics we've encountered on this journey, while putting this festival together, and we've been talking about stories that we would like to tell.
I have been thinking of the increasing prejudice against certain communities in the country. Why not make a film on how the real estate market is treating some communities in "cosmopolitan" Mumbai. Another colleague always felt deeply for stray dogs and if we should talk about how Diwali affects some of these animals - practically driving some of them crazy!
Tell us, what is your story? what would you like to share with the world in frames and reels?
Or share with us some interesting short film with hatke topics that you've come across.... we would simply love to know!

this is great that there is a festival for new filmmakers..BUT where to send films...?
I have sent my film long ago within the due date. But I haven't heard from you since. It was a documentary on the Tibetan culture. The name is "Feel The Beat". Please tell me if there are any updates

hi....
its a nice platform provided the initiators are really able to find some time..i saw the add in the telv and thats how i came to know about this..i feel everyone is unique with there own ways stories...some with terrorism and some with the dogs. but no two terror activity or no two dogs have the same story. u no what i mean.. har kutta khujli vaala nahi hota hai.
i and my friend kishlay will shortly come up with a story which no body will relate to but will be worth watching...well not a dogs story..but might be a roads story...
