| About us |
While the Foundation has already made a mark with its highly successful international short fiction film festival, an annual event held 1-5 November, organized jointly with the Goethe Institute / Max Mueller Bhavan Kolkata with the support of Patton, its new projects include a series of annual lectures by eminent personalities on vital issues pertaining to the arts; and the revival of the periodical Cinewave in English with at least one special issue in a year; and a competition for original filmscripts for short fiction films for the VIVADA Award.
The Kalpanirjhar Foundation, Kolkata founded in 2001, is committed to developing a democratic platform for the study and creative use of the entire range of the audiovisual media, particularly in their role in social critique, change and development.
