Indic Film Utsav is a competitive film festival with a non-competitive category too.
Indic Film Utsav will select a lineup of feature films, documentaries, short films, micro-shorts, and episodic pilots to be showcased at the Festival under both competitive as well as non-competitive categories. While filmmakers can be of any nationality and live anywhere in the world, submissions must have a subject matter that, generally speaking pertains to India.
