4th edition of
CINEMELA
(a festival of short films & documentaries by YOUNG filmmakers)
April 2009
Jawaharlal Nehru University,
New Delhi, India.
The previous editions of Cinemela festival received overwhelming
response from all quarters and the Limca Book of World Records
has recognized the festival for its uniqueness. The festival
intends to take the films created by young artists to the young
audience and is an effort to make a space for the new creative
voices from all over the world which is denied by the crude logic
of media industry. We believe that these woks deserve attention
for their ability to go beyond local issues and provincial tastes
while simultaneously opening up a window onto a diverse
culture. Cinemela is designed to serve as a glass through which
audience may have an opportunity to glimpse important aspects
of rapidly emerging creative sensibilities which are all set to
conquer the future. Keeping this in view, we plan to take the
selected films from the festival to other campuses and places.
The young films, despite the diverse styles and subjects, tell
something about the cultures from which they spring, and have
the capability to make an impression with their individuality. The
festival aspires to provide an ideal opportunity to enjoy the
pleasure of regional distinctiveness through films and rejoice in
their universal appeal. With the images and sounds of these
films, we learn about other portions of the world and witness the
ascendancy of new artists to creative acclaim.
All are invited to be submerged in an experience of dissimilarity,
to be lost in strange spheres, to perceive unfamiliar languages,
to observe unusual styles, to discover new voices and visions.
The festival also provides a platform where interactions among
veteran film persons, young filmmakers, audience and others can
be possible in informal manner. This aims to satisfy our curiosity,
assuage our suspicion, arouse our sympathies, and heighten our
appreciation. We are hopeful that an inevitable degree of
knowing calculation will enter into the experience on both sides.
We invite the cine-lovers to visit an arena where
the future of cinema is taking shape.
