Anurag Thakur, minister of information, broadcasting, and youth affairs, claimed on Monday that the film business is both a “creative economy” and a “sector for creative minds.”
The International Film Festival of India’s 53-Hour Challenge, titled “75 Creative Minds of Tomorrow,” opened with a speech by Thakur.
“You will find possibilities here for networking (to connect with filmmakers) and achieving your objective in the region. According to Anurag Thakur, this competition will attract more “creative brains” to the sector.
“You’ll rise to great heights. You will be able to learn from professionals in this field in master courses. When we refer to the cinema business as another creative minds industry, we also mean that it is a creative economy for any nation, commonly referred to as soft power.” Thakur said.
According to Anurag Thakur, participants will not only receive instruction from specialists from the film business, but also a plank. “You will have opportunities for your job; the value of your network cannot be overstated. IFFI platform has drawn people from all around the world, he remarked in his speech to the audience.
According to Thakur, several of the competitors from previous championships have successfully found their place in the industry and are working in films.
He said that startups in India are performing well. “Youths have shown themselves during the past eight years. This means that if our youth decide to pursue their goals, they will succeed in doing so, he said.
He urged the 75 up-and-coming artists to discover, interact with, and learn from the best minds in the field.
The 75 young people who were selected for the list of “75 Creative Minds of Tomorrow” competition and who are all between the ages of 18 and 35 are split up into groups of 15 to participate in a “53-Hour Challenge.”
They will be given 53 hours to complete a short film based on their vision for India@100 as part of the competition. The National Film Development Corporation and Shorts TV are working together to bring you this portion of IFFI 53.
According to Anurag Thakur, there were nearly 1000 entries received across ten categories. After screening, 75 were chosen to compete.
