We are Dashtag Artketing, a community open for all to express
their art where they’d be supported socially & economically.
Dashtag has been working since the beginning of the lockdown
with 2 successful virtual music events with a “Pay what you
want” fundraiser theme to solely benefit the performing artists.
As our community is curated by artists, for the artists, we have
come up with our 3rd virtual festival which is Dashtag’s first ever
online short film festival named ‘Dashtag’s Virtual Screening’
This will be a 3 days short film festival with 15 films
broadcasted at 5 films per day. Being an independent film
festival, representation of films will access liberty of themes
irrespective of genre, language, nationalities, etc. Due to the lockdown, it is difficult for independent filmmakers to release their films on platforms where they’d benefit for their work. Our community is doing virtual festivals during the lockdown for artists’ welfare. Hence, the film festival is a ticketed event.
For the screening of films, we have chosen a website named ‘art sq ft .” This is a website for artists & organisers to curate live events or post produced material especially as the trends for social culture are reforming. The screening & ticketing for this festival will happen on Art sq ft ‘s website. Art sq ft is accessible for international viewers to buy tickets.
