Harkat is back with the fourth edition of the 16mm film festival, a festival exclusively screenings works done on celluloid film.
The 16mm Film Festival, conceived with a view of re-connecting with the cinematic medium through it's celluloid history has been drawing an amazing response these past few years, with year long workshops and screenings With a very generous support from Kodak, the festival has been working it's way through re-building and supporting infrastructure for filmmakers and artists who want to work on film since the past 4 years.
This year, the festival has gathered much more support from Kodak, industry professionals and partner organisations, who are all working together to further the medium.
Apart from the usual fare of bringing films made on film to the film capital of India, facilitating the production of 5 one minute films by young film makers and conducting beginner and advanced workshops, the festival will be announcing a year long slate of engagements and facilitation in the realm of film.
Another big announcement is that we have loosened our guidelines to also accept films shot on film but with their final prints on digital mediums. Though we will, and always, give preference to films shown on film.
The Harkat 16mm Film Festival is organised by Harkat, an alternative arts space and a film production company based in Mumbai and Berlin.
