SHORTS, the Annual Short Film Festival of Jamshedpur, is back for its 17th year. Since its inception (SHORTS 2008 was the first ever Short Film Festival in Jamshedpur), the Festival has screened short films by professional, budding, and student filmmakers in all its editions so far. The films have been creative in content and experimental in treatment, which is the genre of short films. Many of these films discussed socially relevant issues and have been appreciated by the Festival Audience of the Steel City.
SHORTS has always had the objective of promoting
budding filmmakers from Jharkhand and giving them a platform to showcase their
talent. It has done so. In the last 16 years of the Festival, several budding
filmmakers from Jamshedpur and other parts of the State have screened their
films in SHORTS, and quite a few from among them are today working as
professional filmmakers all over the country.
Apart from local filmmakers, a large number of filmmakers
from other parts of the country and even abroad have participated in the Film
Festival year after year. This has made SHORTS a much-awaited event and is the
longest-running Short Film Festival in Jamshedpur.
SHORTS 2024 boasts of 20 short films that will be
screened in a span of two days. The Films are from Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata,
Jamshedpur, Ranchi and Ghatshila. The Films are in English Hindi, Bengali and
there is a Silent Film. The duration of these films ranges from 2 minutes to 27
minutes and are made by professional, budding, and student filmmakers. The films
carry much food for thought.
The Society For Promotion Of Professional Excellence
(Jamshedpur) and Take 5 Communications (Kolkata) are behind the endeavor and feel
that the 17th Edition would receive an overwhelming response from
the film buffs of Jamshedpur much like the Festival’s earlier editions.
SHORTS 2024 will happen on November 23 and 24, 2024,
at the Centre For Excellence (CFE), Jamshedpur, from 5 pm onwards on both days.
