The Darbhanga Film Club (DFC) is accepting
submissions for the second edition of the Darbanga International Film Festival
(DIFF) 2014 edition. A grand event at Darbhanga City by Darbhanga Film Club, the
Darbhanga International Film Festival explores the cultural & society
changing thematic films of India & abroad based on different topics which
can easily demonstrate the social, economic and political and other issues and
its probable solutions.
The festival will be hosting a range of feature
films - both Indian and World Cinema in the main slate as well as short films
and documentaries simultaneously. As most of the short & documentary films
are not shown on the big screen of theaters, DIFF is a grand platform for short
fiction and documentary as well with good social messages from all regions of
India & abroad.
“After a successful DIFF 2013 in February, It’s
a great honour for us at DIFF and DFC to invite submissions for the festival
once again for feature films, short films as well as documentaries for our 2014
edition,” said Meraj Siddiqui, the chairman of the festival. “We’re also
pleased to announce that we had talks with quite a few film makers who have
agreed to participate not only by sending their films to the festival but also
make themselves present in the screenings of their films - either in person or
virtually. It’s a indeed an unique opportunity for Darbhanga film audiences.”
DIFF also aims to promote and explore the
culture of Mithila as well as Maithili Films. Apart from bhojpuri there are
several films in languages like Maghi, Angika, Maithili and Bajjika which has
not significant popularity but exist. The film festival is focusing at promotion
of films of all languages of Bihar as well as Maithili Cinema to boost the art,
culture and economic development of Regional Cinema and Maithili Cinema of
Bihar.
“I attended this festival with my Strings of
Passion in the competitive section and emerged a winner with not one but 3
Awards in a row. As a producer of genre films, I can assure you that there is
no other organization in Bihar which has taken on these objectives with the
degree of passion and commitment as DFC. I wish them all the best in their
future endeavours. And yea, for sure my film will be competing once again in
the 2014 fest,” says Sanghamitra Chaudhuri, film maker & director from
Kolkata.
The Darbhanga International Film Festival is
created to encourage and promote the work of indie film makers from all regions
and especially from Darbhanga which is one of the most important districts of
