After successfully tying up with several film festivals in
the past including college film fests, Eon Films in association with Lakecity
International Short Film Festival (LISFF) has tied hands with Aahan Film
Festival once again for the second consecutive time for its 2015 festival. Now in
its 5th year, Aahān in a minimalistic frame of time have managed to create a
legacy by transcending beyond the ordinary. The fest has been providing a platform to all aspiring filmmakers to showcase their
talent.
“This year, Frames has tied up with Eon Films for the second
consecutive time for its 2015 festival and will be receiving a package of 60
films for this association which includes a retrospective of Spanish films as well. “This tie up is in a way to promote the film makers on a
consolidating platform and help them reach out to various others festivals
through LISFF,” says Mohan Das, Festival Director, LISFF and founder of Eon
Films. “Similarly, in the past, we have also given a consortium of films to Darbhanga
International Film Festival, SIES Frames Film Festival, Cortokino Short Film
Festival and others.”
Quoting on this tie up, Ankit Tandon, Festival Programmer -
LISSF says, “It’s a great honour for us at LISFF to have a strategic tie-up
with Aahan again where we are going to promote our festival. We are going to
use this set-up for exchange of ideas and information to make our festival
better as well as help LSIFF in gaining its foothold by promoting the same on
our website and amongst our participants as well.”
With a strong focus and mission to promote and unearth
cinematic talents of short and documentary filmmakers from India and abroad, Aahan
festival is a completely student-run festival and with no ties to any agency
whatsoever.
“The LISFF which started off as an International Short Film
Festival is undergoing a major revamp and will now be adding feature films also
in its fold. From this current edition, LISFF will turn LIFF - Lakecity
International Film Festival and will be catering to not only short films,
documentaries and public service films but also provide a platform for feature
films as well,” concluded Mohan Das.
