Mumbai Women's International Film Festival, 2014
Women’s Film Festival returns to Mumbai
The second edition of the Mumbai Women’s International Film Festival (MWIFF), an 8-day event, organised by Oculus Creations, is slated for 6th to 13th December, 2014, with the goal of showcasing women's talent behind the camera and giving them the spotlight they deserve.
The competitive category includes Short Films, Documentary Films, and Feature Films; the non- competitive category includes World Cine-busters, World Panorama and World Premiere.
Festival director Avinash Pawar says, “This is the first biggest Women’s International Film Festival in India, through which we aim to unleash the talent of film-makers from all over the world. We also have master class and seminars by Indian Film industry professionals to provide deep-rooted knowledge about cinem,a to aspiring filmmakers. MWIFF will prove to be a stepping stone for film-makers in converting their dreams into reality”.
MWIFF will include 6 days of film screenings, closing night networking parties, industry panels, post-screening discussions, celebrities, an award ceremony and a pink carpet.
In its first edition, MWIFF left a lot to be desired, especially in terms of logistics, scheduling and planning. I hope their teething problems are over and we shall see a much improved fest, come December.
