Srinagar October 21 (KNS): We are pleased to inform you that we are done all the preparations for organizing the 2nd edition of ‘Sarhad’s J&K International Film Festival’.
As you already know that the first edition of this festival was held in June 2022 and that was a huge success. The response from the filmmakers and the audience, especially the youth was overwhelming.
This time we plan to take this edition to the next level and hope that it will be a bigger success than the first edition.
Keeping in mind the age old friendship of people of Kashmir and Maharashtra we are going to include Marathi films in the short film category. The talented youth from Marathi film Industry will get recognition and a strong platform to show case their films.
The 5 days festival will start on 6th January 2024. The inaugural function will be held in the auditorium of S M Joshi Foundation and the screening of the films will be held in the Auditorium of National Film archives of India.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel
