NABARD Mumbai International Film Festival SCRIPT SYNOPSIS COMPETITION
The National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) has worked, from its inception to address the challenges of rural India and farming communities. A screening of 23 documentaries will be held in partnership with the Mumbai International Film Festival (MIFF).
NABARD, in collaboration with MIFF, has organized the 'SCRIPT SYNOPSIS COMPETITION 2022,' which is open to all, including students, filmmakers, and others. The script will be judged by film division juries, and the winners will be announced on the festival's final day, June 4, 2022. The competition's themes are rural development, rural women on the move, and Indian farmers adopting technology.
To give just a few examples of short films, Water for the Future depicts how NABARD has helped people in Bhiwani district, Haryana, overcome water scarcity and ensure surplus water, Coconut Story Success depicts the success of a NABARD-supported coconut processing unit in Kannur district, Kerala, and In Loom A Film depicts how a NABARD-supported project under the 'Revival, Reform, and Reconstruction Package' has helped sustain livelihood and increase income of weavers and artisans in Manipur.
NABARDS' journey of producing documentaries on successful projects started in 2014. Pradeep Mehrotra, Chief General Communication Department, NABARD, said, “We realised that films are also becoming learning platforms. And I am thankful to MIFF for giving us this platform. Connecting with millennials gives us an opportunity to make them aware of rural India, as they are the future of our nation. Also, there was a need to tell the world about the NABARD's stories of development, stories of grit and resilience, stories of hope and inspiration. We were convinced that these stories would inspire many, many others to break the shackles of the status quo and encourage them to eye for a better tomorrow.”
