    52nd edition of IFFI calls for entries for Indian Panorama

    New Delhi: The 52nd International Film Festival of India (IFFI) has announced a call for entries for Indian Panorama, 2021. Indian Panorama is a flagship component of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) under which the best of contemporary Indian films are selected for the promotion of film art.

    The 52nd edition of IFFI will be held in Goa from 20 to 28 November.

    The last date to submit applications online is 12 August and the last date of the receipt of the hard copy of the online submitted application, along with other requisite documents is 23 August. A set of guidelines have to be followed while submitting films for the 2021 Indian Panorama, said the organisers on Monday.

    The date of CBFC or completion of production of the submitted film should be during the last 12 months preceding the festival – 1 August 2020 to 31 July 2021. Films not certified by CBFC and produced within this period can also be submitted. All films must carry English subtitles.

    Indian Panorama was introduced in 1978 as part of the International Film Festival of India to promote Indian Films and its rich culture and heritage through Indian films. The Indian Panorama has ever since been completely devoted to showcasing the best of the Indian films of the year.

    The aim of the Indian Panorama, organised by the Directorate of Film Festivals, ministry of information and broadcasting is to select the feature and non-feature films of cinematic, thematic, and aesthetic excellence, for the promotion of film art through the non-profit screening of these films in international film festivals in India and abroad, Indian Film Weeks held under Bilateral Cultural Exchange Programmes and Specialised Indian Film Festivals outside cultural exchange protocols, and special Indian Panorama festivals in India.

  • DD strengthens its movie library; to screen acclaimed films twice a week

    DD strengthens its movie library; to screen acclaimed films twice a week

    NEW DELHI: The national broadcaster – Doordarshan – is launching a new slot for acclaimed Indian feature films in all languages that have either won national or international honours, featured in the Indian Panorama, or been part of competition sections of 16 renowned international film festivals.

     

    The films will be screened on Sunday and Monday nights at 11:00 pm from the coming weekend and will be subtitled in English. With revenue earnings of Rs 15 lakh per screening and holding the rights for three years; the pubcaster clarified that the rights were not exclusive.

     

    In the event of a film being offered for a premiere on DD, the amount to be paid will go up to Rs 25 lakh.

     

    Doordarshan Director General Tripurari Sharan told indiantelevision.com that the ‘Best of Indian Cinema’ initiative was part of the celebrations on the centenary of Indian cinema.

     

    Answering a question, he said a similar slot for such films in the eighties and early nineties had fizzled out for various reasons including the fact that the prime time was restricted to around 9:00 pm and viewers generally did not watch television after that. But the entry of the private channels had changed the scenario.

     

    He claimed that DD was the only channel showing such films. However, Lok Sabha TV also has a similar slot on Sundays, though the window for the kind of films it will take is not as large as the one DD is embarking upon.

     

    Sharan clarified that as most films had a U/A certification, they could not be shown before 11:00 pm.

     

    Initially, DD had decided to keep this slot for one year with a total of 104 films. He added that DD had decided to have a cut-off date, and so the slot will only screen films made post the year 2000.

     

    Sharan said that there was need to support these films as they are meant for niche audiences.

     

    However, this slot will mean that the popular Bioscope slot in which meaningful films are shown in three parts from Monday to Wednesday at 11:00 pm will now be curtailed to Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

     

    Answering questions at an informal press meet, he said that other time slots could be considered for these films in the event of viewers demand. Furthermore, DD could also consider increasing the frequency of the screening of such films from twice a week to more days. Referring to Sunday afternoons, he added that the slot was already reserved for retrospectives of eminent film personalities.

     

    On the marketing front, there are already print advertisements that would begin appearing from this weekend, e-flyers to several thousand persons on the list of DD, and social media like Facebook.

     

    The first four films in this slot are the Malayalam movie Nizhalkkuthu by the famed Adoor Gopalakrishnan on 10 November, the Marathi drama Deeol by Umesh Kulkarni on 11 November, the Konkani film Digant by Dyanesh Moghe on 17 November, and the Bangla Nisshabd by Jahar Kanungo on 18 November.
