Kameleon Festival was designed in 2010, as an initiative made to celebrate the Art. The idea of the festival was to encourage the artistic yield of artists in the orbit of Theatre, Films, Arts & Culture. India has a great spiritual and artistically rich history. One needs to pay attention to the aspiration of the present time. Whatever the art forms maybe, there is some difficulty to find the exact space or the other in practicing it. Ultimately, all artists are storytellers. The present aspirations as we sense is: the artistic breathing of this country. We are trying to create a permanent space for the work these artists do and social structures for the artists to live and thrive in at the same time keeping in mind “Art is for People” and constantly evolve with people. After a gap of three years, Kameleon Festival is back and the 3rd edition is dedicated for the Independent Film Makers, to celebrate aspiring young Independent Film Makers and to create a space for new thoughts on Film making.
Pondicherry by its own history have the possibility of incarnate the artistic and cultural aspect of Indian heritage and foreign at the same time generates a dynamic space for contemporary art practitioner to "Explore and Exhibit" their artistic vision. This constant thought and realisation made us to form an Art festival in Pondicherry for the Artists and the People. We are focusing for a sizeable fiesta in the area of Arts & Culture.
Kameleon Festival is organised by “Indianostrum Theatre”, a non profit charitable trust based in Pondicherry with the support of Tourism Department, Puducherry, India and Alliance Française Pondicherry, India.
