Connecting filmmakers and the audience
CFF 2018 Selection
First up. Promise fulfilled
We would like to sincerely thank God first and then each one of you who participated with your films, comments, suggestions, ideas, feedback, reviews and most important of all for the support. We know it's difficult to decide objectively on subjective films and then try to make sense out of it all. We also know there are many questions to be asked and answered as we stand today but patience is the resolute of the affairs. A decision needs to be made in order to move forward. As the fest blends in to the next year we will have time to improve.
Below is the list of the short films that we will screen on Nov 4 if wishes God. We made some changes like taking out the feature films and music videos for this year due to many reasons. An overwhelming number of short films and a lack of better choices within the feature film category had convinced us that it would be best to allocate the little time of 6 hours that we have to only short films for 2018. Features and Musicals will return in 2019 with full force.
After careful evaluation and many tiring nights we are presenting you with the most effective way to screen this years festival. There are no winners or losers here. Look out for a more detailed email on why we did what we did.
Download your CFF Laurel from below and share #CrossoverFilmFest. You have until Nov 2nd to give your final vote for each category.
Film on.
