The idea of Bengaluru International Short Film Festival (BISFF) was to create a platform for young and amateur filmmakers, where they could screen their shorts to discerning audiences and, more importantly, find constructive and critical feedback from experts in the field.
This year, BISFF saw entries pouring in a huge number. The animation section saw hundreds of entries from across the globe. With many amazing movies being selected in the final rounds, jury now has a task to deal with!
BISFF recently announced the animation section jury members which include film producer Avrill Stark, Arena Animation director and ABAI secretary B.S. Srinivas, Videogyan CEO Vishal TM.
Talking to Animation Xpress, Srinivas said, “Happy and privileged to be on the Jury panel of the Animation Competition section along with some animation veterans and to be viewing some of the best and amazing animation shorts from across the world at the Bengaluru International Short Film Festival (BISFF) 2020.”
BISFF is an Academy Award qualifying short film festival happening between 13 to 16 August 2020. This festival provides an ideal platform to showcase talent – especially for people with energy drive and talent.
“I have been treated with viewing some brilliant animated short films from across the globe and finding it actually tough to rate them given the amount of competition involved,” added Srinivas.
Indian animated films on the finalist include Wade, Radha- The Eternal Melody, Story of a Beginning and The Fox and the Palmgrove.
