Indian Peacock International Film Festival
(It is an ONLINE Festival. The selected films can be watched ONLINE ONLY.)
Description
India is supposedly the only country to produce the most number of films every year when compared to any other country. India is a culturally rich country with a history of cinema that dates back to the July of 1896 with the show of Lumière films in Bombay (now Mumbai). 'The Wrestlers' (1899) by H. S. Bhatavdekar showing a wrestling match at the Hanging Gardens in Mumbai was the first film ever to be shot by an Indian. It was also the first Indian documentary film. The first full-length motion picture in India was produced by Dadasaheb Phalke. He is the pioneer of Indian cinema who brought together elements from Sanskrit epics to produce 'Raja Harishchandra' (1913), a silent film in Marathi. India’s first talkie is 'Alam Ara.' Gradually, the culture of cinema started growing at a fast pace, and in the Golden Age of Indian Cinema the art form touched new heights in the hands of Chetan Anand, Ritwik Ghatak, Satyajit Ray, Mrinal Sen, Mani Kaul, Adoor Gopalakrishnan, G. Aravindan, Girish Kasaravalli, Buddhadeb Dasgupta, Tarun Majumdar, Tapan Sinha, Guru Dutt, Raj Kapoor, Bimal Roy et al.
The present modern Indian cinema still holds the high position in the world arena because of a new breed of directors who experiment and portray reality in their own ways. Anurag Kashyap, Madhur Bhandarkar, Vishal Bhardwaj, Gautam Ghose, Aparna Sen, Kaushik Ganguly, Rituporno Ghosh, Mani Kaul, Kumar Shahani, Ketan Mehta, Govind Nihalani, Shyam Benegal, Mira Nair, Nagesh Kukunoor, Sudhir Mishra, Nandita Das, Homi Adajania, Sooni Taraporevala and others have carved a niche of their own.
Why Online?
Indian Peacock International Film Festival plans to give impetus to the new filmmakers and showcase their work online. As internet has taken the world by storm, hence is our online festival which is not limited by geographical boundaries and also not limited to only those who can afford to attend film festivals. Our online festival takes your film to every person using internet and your film gets a greater viewership than any physical festival. After all, every filmmaker must know that a film, be it a short or a feature, needs promotion to be heard and seen and appreciated. So, the more the number of viewers the easier it becomes to establish yourself as a filmmaker.
Founded by longtime residents and movie veterans alike, the Sherman Oaks Film Festival looks to showcase the best undiscovered movies in the heart of Los Angeles. The neighborhood that was home the mall in Fast Times At Ridgemont High deserves a world class film festival!
