Twilight is the first film festival exclusively meant for short films in India that promotes short film aesthetics and narratives. Twilight is targeted at the students and young filmmakers from India. To promote and provide a space for the young and enthusiastic filmmakers, we have a competition section for their films. This brings in young filmmakers from across the nation. Last year, we had organized "Twilight 07" from the 3rd of January to 5th of January 2007 at Alliance Francaise and the India International Centre. We had screened a total number of 56 films. The films were up for competition for cinematic merit and awards were decided by an eminent panel of jury that comprised of eminent Jurist, film critic, academician and filmmakers.
This year, Twilight is scheduled from the 11th to 15th of December 2008 and will be hosted at Alliance Francaise and India Islamic Cultural Centre in the prime cultural zone of New Delhi, Lodhi Road. This year, Twilight is a part of Delhi International arts Festival, DIAF. DIAF under one umbrella has many streams such as festival of classical dance, festival of classical music, a theatre Festival, a folk dance Festival, art exhibition and sale by well-known artists, international artists’ performances, film festival, handicrafts and handloom exhibition and a youth Festival in different parts of the city over duration of two weeks. In the second edition of Twilight, we have two separate competition sections for student filmmakers and professional filmmakers. This year, we introduce a new activity, “Aestheshorts”, a series of panel discussion each day during the festival. Aestheshorts will debate and discuss about aesthetics, form, technology and marketing of short film genre. |
