    This festival was a very pleasant surprise. You would never know it’s only been running for 3 years. Communication was excellent, the reception unforgettable, and they market and advertise like seasoned pros. Intimate and community oriented, with dinner provided each night under the stars. Thank you Dr Kapil Siddharth, Dr Geeta Chaturvedi, and of course the sophisticated jury for not only awarding our film QUEEN OF THE BEACH Best Documentary Feature... but making this an event I will never forget. I travelled there from Canada and would do it again.

    Our Featre Film Insha Allah has been an Official Selection in over 10 festivals and I can say that the Chambal International Film Festival is easily the BEST!!! The Organizers were just fantastic. Every step of the way we were treated with such care and respect. The support, the communication and the enthusiasm was incredible. I loved the whole process in getting our film into this Beautiful Film Festival. I hope to make another film soon to again be part of this wonderful celebration of films. Thank you!!! Big hugs to you all.
