The first Cinemela festival in 2006 received an overwhelming response from viewers and filmmakers and was recognized by the Limca Book of Records. The festival aims at presenting films created by young filmmakers to young audiences and is an effort to create a space for new creative voices from across countries. Cinemela believes that the works deserve attention for their ability to go beyond local issues and provincial tastes while simultaneously opening up a window into diverse cultures. The festival aspires to provide an ideal opportunity to enjoy regional distinctiveness through films in their universal appeal. It also provides a platform for interactions and exchange among veteran film persons, young filmmakers and audiences. With this aim in view Cinemela is working on taking these films to many more schools, colleges and institutions. All young filmmakers and those who consider themselves young in the field are encouraged to send in their films to the festival.
Max Mueller Bhavan, Goethe-Institut, as part of the 2nd Cinemela, presents a series of prize winning short films by young film makers, titled ‘Gestures of Reconciliation’. This series is the result of a short film competition jointly organized by the "Remembrance and Future" Fund and the Goethe-Institut in Belarus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, Israel, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, the Ukraine and the United States. The films portray gestures of reconciliation between nations and people affected by WWII, made at political levels, social and religious initiatives, in the realms of academia and the arts, and between individuals.
