Born in 2016. And two film festivals-retrospectives old.
Applauded by the greats of cinema Shyam Benegal, Mahesh Bhatt, Amol Palekar TS Nagabharana and younger directors like Vikas Bahl, Raam Reddy and Suman Kittur.
We are Pickle Jar, a platform to curate and create film festivals; most of our bunch is based in Bangalore - among us are artists, activists, journalists, students, homemakers, IT professionals - all bound by the glue of passion for cinema and life.
Founded by radio and television personality Vasanthi Hariprakash, Pickle Jar travels to Chennai this time with 'Travel' as its theme. Scheduled to be held on December 16 & 17 this year, the film festival will feature 8 films in Hindi Tamil Kannada Malayalam and English, some popular feature films, must-watch documentaries and - starting this time - a selection of short films, handpicked by a jury.
If you have a film to show that is on Travel and not more than 20 minutes long, here is where you should be uplinking it after finishing other formalities. You can also reach us for details on picklejar.bangalore@gmail.com
