THE SHORT TAKE

FILCOFF is a new initiative of the Annai Rathinam Educational, Cultural Academy and Charitable Trust, founded in Puducherry to promote independent filmmaking and build a vibrant community around cinema. We create spaces for diverse voices, emerging filmmakers and film enthusiasts through screenings, filmmaker conversations, workshops, short-film showcases and creative collaborations. Drawn to culturally diverse, emotionally complex and human-centred stories, FILCOFF seeks to connect people, encourage creative expression and nurture a culture of independent cinema in and around Puducherry — For the Love of Cinema.
