ViBGYOR International Film Festival 2007
-Celebrating Identities and Diversity
Thrissur, Kerala May 10-13

CALL FOR ENTRIES

Dear Friends,
ViBGYOR Film Festival celebrates the vagaries of identity and the richness 
of its embodied diversity in the festival of short and documentary films 
held every year in Thrissur, Kerala. 

The Second Edition of ViBGYOR will be 
held from 10th to 13th of May 2007. The four-day Film festival invests not 
just in the banquet of films of value and sense but strive to make the event 
a rich visual and intellectual experience in interfacing with filmmakers, 
activists, peoples’ movement leaders and academicians from as divergent 
streams of life and activities. The marked difference from the last year is 
the absence of competition section. Instead, we are introducing the 
'Festival to the People', creating an additional venue in a rural area next 
to Thrissur town, where screenings and interaction with the filmmakers will 
be interspersed.

ViBGYOR Package will have seven themes like `Indigenous People', `Dalit 
Reality', `Gender & Sexuality', `Fundamentalism v/s Diversity', `Nation 
State', `Globalization' and Country/Region focus. Seven films each will be 
selected for each catagory. `Earth’ will be the theme for the Focus of the 
Year 2007. The festival will start with a national conference on the same 
theme. Apart from the above two packages, there will be Short Fiction, Music 
Videos, Animations and Spots, a `Kerala Spectrum’ and as usual the 
Retrospectives. The other features include Open Forum every day, a film 
market etc.

We invite short and documentary films, music videos, animations and spots 
from around the world for screening at ViBGYOR 2007 in the categories 
mentioned above and works from Kerala for the `Kerala Spectrum’. There will 
be a selection process to include films in appropriate themes as per 
available screening time. Films made in 2005 and 2006 can participate. We 
also invite filmmakers, activists and film lovers from every corner of the 
world to participate in this celebration of ideas, art, struggles and 
dreams.

ViBGYOR-2007 is organized by Chetana Media Institute (Thrissur) along with 
Nottam(Cochin), GAIA (Thrissur), Abhivyakti (Nasik),  Visual search 
(Bangalore) and Marupakkam (Madurai), with the support of Governmental and 
Non-Governmental institutions.
