Short
Films - though neglected in comparison to full-length feature
films, can be as informative as educational, as entertaining
as topical as any other medium. Recent developments across
the world have established the fact that short films and documentaries
can have large appeal and substantial commercial value. We
believe that it is about time there was more viewership and
interest amongst Indian filmmakers and audiences as well to
give short films its due credit.
An
increasing number of talented and young filmmakers across
the country are choosing short films as the medium to convey
their filmmaking and narrative skills.
It
is felt that Hyderabad, with its growing film culture, requires
a film club exclusively for short films to build a strong
network with national as well as international film icons
to spread horizons in terms of filmmaking. And the essence
of formulating this club is to encourage amateurs and students
to explore newer avenues of public appreciation and help explore
commercial viability.
Films
Anonymous is a Club conceptualized and started by a
group of film enthusiasts to propagate the cause of short
films. Films
Anonymous provides a platform for short filmmakers to
screen their films and to have interesting and critical interactive
sessions with audience consisting of people from the industry
and media besides film enthusiasts.

Films
will be acquired from various sources like first time Filmmakers,
Ad Agencies, Film Clubs, Film Festivals, Film Students, Production
Houses and also from famous and critically acclaimed filmmakers
directly.The entire collection will be examined by a screening
committee consisting of eminent people from all walks of the
society, essentially the industry, media and academics, before
the movies are finalized for screenings.
Films
will be projected on a DV player on a LCD screen. We prefer
showing the films on the state of the art DV format. We show
short films only and that includes documentaries, music videos
and ad-films as well. On a monthly basis, we select films
based on a theme or topic.
The
club is open to all filmmakers, big or small, recognized or
not. There is no discrimination of any sort and the atmosphere
is conducive for the best creative nourishment.
