As said by Satyajit Ray “Cinema’s characteristic forte is its ability to capture and communicate the intimacies of the human mind”.
The power of visual storytelling to create an impact in the real world is plentiful. That is why Short films are catching up and seeding change in their own ways.
Mumbai Festival’s Short Film Festival 2018 focusses on the refection of Short Films on our society.
Festival’s motive is to screen Short Films which are made by Students, Non- Professionals & Professionals through which they express their selves more effectively.
Films in every true sense develop our ability to communicate our thoughts and feelings to others, improving our relationships and improving the world around us.
Society examines itself in a mirror. Now a days Short Films are looked at as a laboratory in which we can study the problems that confront society and attempt to solve those problems.Festival wants to focus on these aspects of Short Films.
