Short films allow for creative experiments and provocation and invite artists to play with cinematic styles – for many filmmakers the starting point of their career, others stay and explore the format’s possibilities. While these films may be onscreen for mere moments, they make lasting impressions. Limited in length but never in creativity, short films have their very own energy, far removed from the financial constraints of a feature film and often the rules of cinema itself. Whether they embody the start of an idea or the crystallization of one, shorts are one of the most consistently intriguing cinematic forms, a fascinating world unto themselves. To support and promote young and talented newcomers and to celebrate this variety in film culture, Mysuru Cinema Society in association with Bhartiya Chitra Sadhana, New Delhi hosts Paridrishya - An International Festival of Short Films and Documentaries.
