Roddur is going to organise an International Short Film Festival on 27th, 28th and 29th of May, 2022 to inspire and promote the individual and independent film makers and directors in their genesis. The film festivals play a substantial role in the process between the production and circulation of the movies by the makers and it's reception by the audience and spectators. A film has a uniquely powerful ubiquity within human culture and is a potential vehicle for social reform and movement and for the purpose of education as well in the form of entertainment. For the better cause Roddur has always been supportive for the real talents and promotes them to achieve their endeavours. Like previous years this year also we are organising the International Short Film Festival heading towards the goal and opportunity to appreciate the film makers who make the film with their small scale individualistic efforts The eminent and legendary film personalities will be the jury members of those forth coming international short film festival.
