Directorate of Film Festivals has called for entries for the Indian Panorama (IFFI 2005) section from film producers. This is open to both feature and non-feature films.
This ad doesn't say whether the IFFI will be held in Goa. But while this was announced last year, Goa's new CM Pratapsing Rane says he wants the bill to be footed by the Centre, if IFFI is to be held here. Non-feature films, to qualify, must be made in any Indian language, shot on 35 mm, 16 mm or on wider gauge or digital format but released on either film or Betacam SP (broadcast quality) format. t also needs to be produced in India and certified by the Central Board of Film Certification, between August 1, 2004 and July 31, 2005 (both days inclusive). The advert, on Page 17 of the Times of India of June 23, 2005 (Thursday) also seeks entries for the Asian competition section of the 36th IFFI.
