Asian Women's Film Festival calls for entries for eleventh edition slated for March next year

NEW DELHI: Held every day at the International Women’s Day, the IAWRT Asian Women’s Film Festival, will hold its 11th edition next year in the capital from 3 to 5 March.

 

The event will showcase the works of Asian women directors in a range of genres – animation, documentary, experimental, short fiction and feature fiction. The director could be living in any part of the world but should be of Asian origin.

 

The Festival has called for entries which have to be sent in by 15 October.

 

The 2015 edition of the festival seeks to have an exciting selection of films that are diverse in context, content and form. Apart from the general programme, there will also be some curated sections. The festival will feature the second edition of Soundphiles for which a separate entry form will be out in the coming days. There will also be a special section on Asian Experimental Cinema as well as other packages.
