We are an Independent film festival with live screenings, that happens yearly in different cities in Maharashtra, India. Welcome to Canvas International Short Fest. We are facilitating our second Annual Festival in 2020. Our mission is intended to help make a stage for our producers to be seen, yet more significantly, get them the business presentation to help support their specialty for a long time to come. The CANISF is amazingly energized for its grandstand season and plans on getting extraordinary compared to other film festivals in Pune. Each movie producer who submits is naturally qualified for our Production Budget prize.

CANISF endeavors to give spaces to autonomous movie producers to make and show their accounts without business pressure, so as to find and celebrate unprecedented movies and create free filmmaking. Our Jury group is searching for potential movies and producers for scheduled meetings with officials from the film and media business. CANISF will have screening occasions at the Mumbai with post-screening Q&A with executives, makers and entertainers and the open door for them to coordinate with industry experts at our networking occasions and workshops
