Turi Film Festival (TFF) was launched to break the myth that films need to be evaluated only on the technical aspects of filmmaking, ignoring the impression the storyteller leaves behind in the audience with the message it tries to convey.
We are thankful to all for making TFF 2023 a grand success…
TFF 2.0 will continue the coveted festival of films that are shorter than the shorts but leave behind a much bigger message. It provides an opportunity for filmmakers and content creators to get greater visibility for their work.
TFF 2.0 remains one of the few festivals where the message of the film gets equal weightage to the aspects of filmmaking.
The award-winning films will be the ones which get the best engagement from the audience. It will be calculated through a scientific, transparent formula that will be communicated to all shortlisted candidates.
