[rohitrellan at aol.in]

The “Shaan-e-awadh International Film Festival” is promoted by “Splash Etcetra”, a group of young and energetic film enthusiasts. Primarily an advertising & consulting firm, we also deal in production, promotion and distribution of short films, documentaries and films.


Splash Etcetra was established by some professionals of the Indian Film and Television industry in 2007. From the time of its inception, we have done several projects for social causes under our in house production.


Today, Splash Etcetra has completed 3 successful years. After being a part of such a glorious industry like ours, we as film lovers wish to do something that would encourage our youth to learn about the art of film making, the fraternity and eventually join the film industry to make some quality cinema for the society.


A quote said “Cinema can change a hairstyle but can’t change the society”. It is about time we change this view. Indian cinema has a glorious history and we strongly believe that the youth of this country is very talented can change the way people think about our cinema. It has the power to change the society and that is what we want our youth to know and probe them to prove it to the rest of the world.


The “Shaan-e-awadh International Film Festival” is an initiative towards this effort, organised by “Awadh Art Society (India)” in association with “World Homeland Security (Canada)”.
