A SHORT FILM CAN TAKE YOU A LONG WAY


SEND IN YOUR SHORT FILMS TO US AND WE'LL GIVE IT A PLATFORM!

Hi

It is said that there is potential for one book and one film in each one of us. There are people who have not known that there is a writer or director in them, till the time they actually wielded a pen or a camera with the intention of creating something they believe in. It is our endeavour to find such unknown talents from this country when it comes to films.

Palador has been at the forefront of the World Cinema movement in this country. For over three years now, and at the cost of millions of rupees (and countless relationships gone wrong), we have build up a base of World Cinema in India, owning the largest collection of foreign language films in Asia (close to 750 titles). It is time to show these movies to the discerning viewer in India. However, the effort would be futile, if that did not involve film makers with the potential to make those movies in this country.

For all we, or you, know, you might be the next big thing in World Cinema. But all big things have short beginnings. Have you made a short film you think is really good, in terms of story, cinematography, idea, treatment etc.? Do you believe that it has the potential to be seen in one breath alongside the works of the giants of World Cinema? If you do, then send us your short film, and if it convinces us as well, we will program it alongside the works of master directors. We will then give it the rightful place in the Indie Corner section in the DVDs of world cinema films we are releasing in this country. And what's more, you'll also stand to gain some revenue from the same, though not enough to make you rich… yet ;).

Forward this mail to friends, colleagues and family… someone you think has done some good short film. Not only them, but to the lovers of good cinema in India, you might end up doing a great favour.

Think about it, a short film can take you a long way.

Mail to anvita@paladorpictures.com if you are serious about it.

Regards,


ANVITA T.
