FulMarxx Shorts Fest Ver 2.0 Announced

An announcement that might be useful for many of our friends:

FulMarxx Shorts Fest Ver 2.0 – India’s Largest Short Film Festival

After the stupendous success of the first edition, FulMarxx is back with FulMarxx Shorts Fest Ver 2.0, India’s Largest Short Film Festival. The second edition promises to be a magnificent extravaganza wherein films of more than 1,000 short filmmakers will be judged/reviewed by an esteemed 100-member jury panel, including Bollywood bigwigs, well know film critics & academicians, media journalists and entertainment entrepreneurs.

Why these awards?
Each year, numerous short films are made in India. The passion, the effort and the toil that goes into making a film is incredulous. But still these short films and filmmakers hardly get the recognition and honor they deserve. FSF 2.0, India’s first ever people choice short films award promises short filmmakers a never before platform to showcase their work.

Who’s involved?
FulMarxx is a “new model” integrated filmed entertainment company, with its wings spread across motion pictures, entertainment marketing, short films and film festival with robust worldwide distribution capabilities. FulMarxx was initially established as a short films company and successfully organized the FulMarxx Shorts Fest, which has bloomed into India’s largest short film festival.

Who should compete?
Anyone who makes short films, who has made a short film or who can make a short film

How are winners chosen?

Public votes and jury opinion.

The FulMarxx India’s Best Short Filmmaker will be decided on jury rating and number of votes.

What are the awards categories?

FulMarxx India’s Best Short Filmmaker Award for year 2008-09
