[Arul Selvan]

Hi all

Haven't really been contributing. Have decided to start contributing my 
little bit. Hope this turns out to be useful for a lot of people. Am 
working with the British Council now. Here's a bit the students and film 
buffs can use.

Regards

The Indo-British Digital Film Festival

The Indo British Digital Film Festival, curated by Madhureeta Anand 
Negi, brings together filmmakers and artists who want to break the 
hegemony of mediocre films and video art. This specially curated film 
festival aims to showcase a selection of films that represent a new 
thought process in the world of digital media in both India and Britain. 
It is hoped that this amalgamation of nascent and new creations will 
become an annual meeting point for filmmakers from both countries, 
allowing for collaborations in digital film and art between the two 
countries.

The festival will screen a total of 45 films over four days. There will 
also be digital video art displays and seminars.

Films of all durations and genres are eligible for entry, as long as 
they are shot or post-produced on the digital format. Please note that 
this festival carries no entry fee. The deadline for submission is 10 
June 2003.

Application forms are available at www.britishcouncil.org.in or at the 
British Council, Chennai. Please send the completed forms along with a 
VHS/DVD/VCD copy of the film to Rachna Kalra at the British Council, 17, 
Kasturba Gandhi Marg, New Delhi 1100 01. For further information please
