NEW DELHI: NewsX has launched the ‘Annual NewsX documentary film festival’. The documentary film festival will begin in the last week of December in New Delhi. Currently, the event is in the final phase of short-listing process.

Says NewsX marketing director Gautam Mukerjea, “We intend to extend the recesses of mainline or parallel cinema and offer an enriching and wholesome experience to our audience. The festival will serve as an exchange forum where the audience gets an opportunity to interact with the directors and vice-a-versa. It truly mirrors the spirit of our channel at large.”

The festival is divided into short and feature documentaries and caters to a select audience that includes the decision makers in every business.

The grand fiesta will kick off with director to audience tête-à-tête’s on the behind the scenes of the documentaries, followed by a daily showcasing of four to six documentaries.

The winning documentary will get showcased on NewsX. Film makers can send their entries latest by 30 November.
