The short film awards which were announced a month back saw a huge enthusiasm and participation from the short film makers. The jury had a tough task ahead in shortlisting the nominees and deciding the winners.
With the digital revolution which India is going through, SIIMA thought this would be the right time to encourage and give the right platform to short filmmakers and recognize their talent.
