9th Madurai Documentary and Short Film Festival 2007 -update 01

Dear Friends

Greetings from Marupakkam. There is a slight change in the dates of our 9th Madurai Film Festival 2007.

It has been decided by the organising committee consisting of 20 groups, institutions and organisations that the 9th Madurai documentary and short film festival 2007 will take place on 5-9 ofDecember 2007.

The inaugural function will take place on 5 December 2007 at Edward Victoria Hall at 6 p.m. senior writers, activists and filmmakers will be invited to inaugurate the festival.

The screenings will take place in the following colleges in Madurai.
1) American College 2) Lady Doak College 3) Madura College 4) Arul Anandhar College.

Few more colleges may join the list.

Besides, screenings in the open field in the following 5 villages also have been planned in association with voluntary organisations and groups. 1)Usilampatti (SIRD) 2)Thirupuvanam (SAND) 3)Perungudi(KOODU)4)EKTA 5)PEAL

Main screenings will take place at Tamilnadu Theological Seminary and MUTA Hall during all the 5 days.

Our selection committee meeting is on during all the week ends of October to select the films to be screened at the festival. We have invited filmmakers, writers, activists, artists, film society friends, teachers and students from Madurai to form the selection committee.

I would like to remind the filmmakers who have forgotten to send their films to our festival. Also Iwould like request them to send their latest films and support the festival which has been consistently taking films to the people for the past 8 years.

regards
