The big short' festival

Deccan Chronicle  

Calling Thiruvananthapuram a city jam-packed with cine-halls is no hyperbole. Cutting across this stereotypical fabric came the International Film Festival of Kerala two decades back in the misty days of December. People who alienated themselves from this ‘strange’ phenomenon, over the passage of time, evolved — youth in particular—- and made it a part of their cine viewing habits.This yearly wait for good cinema was cut into half with the arrival of the International Documentary and Short Film Festival of Kerala in June 2008. About 1,500 delegates will catch a melange of 204 Indian and international short movies and documentaries in the three-tier Kairali-Nila-Sree theatre complex for five days, till June 14. Regarded as the oldest short film festival in the world, the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen in Germany has a slice of it for the IDSFFK.
