welcomes you all
1st & 2nd FEBRUARY 2025
We're searching for the most captivating short films and documentaries to showcase at our prestigious event.
— for many filmmakers the starting point of their career
Short films allow for creative experiments and provocation and invite artists to play with cinematic styles, 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
A short film is basically any film that is too short to be considered a feature film. There are no set boundaries on this, although the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences defines a short film as ``an original motion picture that has a running time of 40 minutes or less, including all credits``.
A documentary film purports to present factual information about the world outside the film. A nonfiction film about real events and people, often avoiding traditional narrative structures. Documentary is the creative treatment of actuality.
Every year, the Mysuru Cinema Society organizes industry veterans to present ``Masterclasses`` to students in the realm of cinema.
Master Classes take you step-by-step through the answers to the tough questions you have around how to find the right job in the right career field.
Mysuru Cinema Society encourages and trains the youth interested in different aspects of film making. In this regards MCS is going to organize film-making workshops at different places across the country. During the two-day workshop participants will be given training by veteran filmmakers.
