After successfully conducting the Siliguri International Short Film Festival in Siliguri for the last three years, we are planning to organise the 1st Jalpaiguri International Short Cinema Festival in the cultural capital of North Bengal right from 2022!

Jalpaiguri has a distinct cultural legacy of its own. There are many budding and aspiring filmmakers, actors, and technicians in this town. The sensational Tollywood actress Mimi Chakraborty belongs to Jalpaiguri. Excepting her many are successfully working in Bengali Film Industry.

The history of Jalpaiguri even boasts of its fight for freedom against the British rulers. Then the Divisional Headquarters, Jalpaiguri has many royal memories to share with even today. With lush greenery, hills, tea gardens, dense forests, meandering village paths, and numerous rivers — Jalpaiguri can be a prime seat of film tourism in near future. Hence the idea of holding THE JALPAIGURI INTERNATIONAL SHORT CINEMA FESTIVAL.

The International Film and Multimedia Festival is an audiovisual Festival that aims to promote cinema within the country and abroad. The festival will take place in the month of March with competition for short films both fiction, experimental, documentary. and an International Media Art Exhibition. There will also be talks and meetings with filmmakers.

THE FESTIVAL: MOVEMENT OF CULTURE

The Festival was born with a very specific mission: it aims to stimulate public attention towards an open and wide representative space, such as the rural environment, makes its outdoor projections, open to all, the best exponent. Youth and adults, generations separated by years and experiences, gather around a screen, which is the focus of the light of a past and a future: culture is timeless, culture unites, and film language will be the link common to temper emotions and feelings, to treasure memories, to provoke lively gatherings.

In this way, all attendees of the event can enjoy a heterogeneous and dynamic speech. Through this cultural impulse, the different currents of creativity allow viewers to move and explore new and old codes in a public space, creating community.
