Tomorrow, on Children’s Day, Pancham Ved Creations Charitable Trust, Dehra Art Home along with LXL Ideas, is ready to take Doon students on a cultural tour of over a dozen countries, through their films.
Dehradun, for the very first time, will be hosting The International Kid’s Film Festival 2018 aka ‘IKFF’ thanks to the efforts of the above organisations, which kicks off on the 20th-23rd of November. This unique film festival provides an opportunity for school children to not only watch quality International Children Films, but to learn the art of film making as well.
The three day film fest will be held at the IRDD, Survey Chowk, Campus in which close to a hundred schools from the valley have pledged their support.
“Children today are exposed to a lot of content but it is sad that most of the content they watch is not upto the mark. International Kids Film Festival offers a great platform for children to watch the best of world cinema.”
Through IKFF, schools in the valley will get the opportunity to host a film festival and bring the best of world cinema right to their doorstep. As part of the festival, school children can also learn the art of making films.
An online master class by ‘IKFF‘ applicable for students between 12-21 years of age, assists the young minds to make and submit their entry to the world’s largest student filmmaking competition.
Pancham Ved Creations Charitable Trust and Dehra Art Home believe that close to ten thousand students who participate in the IKFF 2018 have a lot to learn from the film carnival. It aims to motivate students, teachers and parents to embrace films as an educational medium.
Some of the other highlights of IKFF is that young talents might go on to assist a Bollywood production & meet celebrities, be selected as a jury member at an international kids film festival, along with their films being screened at International Kids Film Festivals and also win a hefty cash prize .
