Karnataka Youth International Short Film Festival proudly brings the world of International Cinema to Karnataka a land well known for its contributions to the literature, arts, architecture, economy and politics of Karnataka. It is also known as Karu Nadu. Mysuru is famous for its palace and sceneic beauty in the Indian state of Karnataka.

The power of visual is more than words. An image is more colorful than a group of words, literally and figuratively.

The purpose of organizers of this festival, "Filmaholic Foundation", is to attract best films, addressed to students and youths which meet the festival criteria from across the world.

This festival educates the public, using various subjects used for the category of films dealing with the students and youths against violence, discrimination, racism and other social causes. In this regard, awareness messages are conceived to promote and bring out the creative talent among students and youths.
