The 360 hours challenge

It required filmmakers and cinematographers to register and make a film of their choice within 360 hours and submit it for the final festival. Till the first week of April, the organization had already received more than 100 regional and international participants. The winners for the same will be announced and honoured during the main festival.

NFTs to be incorporated

A film festival on Blockchain!? Seems far-fetched, right? But in reality, it is apt.

The second edition of the Malhaar Short Film Festival will distribute blockchain-based Non-Fungible tokens to guarantee ownership and revenue of streaming to the filmmakers, storytellers, and artists.

It’s time for cinema buffs to gear up as the Malhaar film festival is all set to showcase movies and stories that have the potential of beginning a momentum.
