Testimonials
-
Still people tend to take shortfilms on melodramatic ideas. Feel like shortfilm industry is trying to imitate Feature films. In short, it was mainly a pack of tear-jerkers. But i felt refreshed as i watched the documentaries

Such kind of festivals have initiated good docuementaries as well as given words to new masters this festival is truly notable for its increased participation and enthusiasm among newcomers
Film Critic and Academic

Quality of films seems elevated thatn the previous festivals, still it doesn't sync when it comes to Music Video Category. 9th IDSFFK witnesses a new generation of documentary makers keen on documenting life in various hues.
