The Rolling Frames International Short Film Festival offers a perfect platform to filmmakers for showcasing their talent and screening their Short Films & Documentaries to the industry and general public.
A unique platform for filmmakers to screen their Short Films & Documentaries. This is a unique opportunity to showcase their talent to the industry professionals and also the general public. Past events have seen over 700 filmmakers from 59 different countries presented their films. Brilliant films like Sulle Sathya, Lest We Forget, Chasing the Rainbow, Lost Paradise, Scarred, Dreams UnDwarfed are showcased in the Summit.

In its third year, we expect The Rolling Frames International Short Film Festival experience to be even more vibrant and interactive for the viewers and participants alike, with plethora of subjects and styles projected from filmmakers in India and abroad.
As the festival comes into its own, there are sure to be exciting entries and interactions between homegrown and international talent.

After the screenings, there will be opportunities to interact with the Director of the film in the exclusive and dedicated space, the ‘Director’s Corner’. This has proven to be a hit in the past festivals, and we are sure it will live up to expectations this year, too.

First of its kind for Short & Feature Films in India, it has effectively brought Filmmakers, Professionals from the Film, Animation, VFX Industry, Members of Film Societies, Film Clubs, Students as well as Staff from Film Institutes, Media, Journalism, Fine Arts Colleges; Animation Institutes, and Film enthusiasts on a single, united platform of interaction.

The 2015 edition promises to be even bigger and better, taking place at the largest screening venue in Bangalore, India, with a potential of accommodating around 2500 people. The summit is focused on providing more of a learning experience for short filmmakers in their journey towards becoming feature length filmmakers and helping them to fine-tune their art.

The vast expanse of the venue will be put to optimum use, with dedicated spaces for film screenings, master classes conducted by industry professionals; ‘Demo Zones’ with various manufacturers demonstrating relevant products used in filmmaking and ‘Experience Zones’ will afford hands-on experiences for participants; Art Exhibition is expected to be a dynamic showcase of murals and other artistic installations by artists from all over India.

Last but not the least, this year we have added a new category for short films and documentaries on social issues and causes. Our chosen social cause for 2015 is Mental Health Issues.
