Dear Friends,

We are happy to announce that the 10th IAWRT Asian Women's Film Festival will take place in New Delhi from 5-8 March, 2014.

The event will showcase the works of Asian women directors in a range of genres - animation, documentary, experimental, short fiction, feature fiction and television reportage. The director could be living in any part of the world but should be of Asian origin.

In the 2014 edition of the festival we seek to have a diverse and exciting selection of films that show courage in the choice of both content and form. Apart from the general programme, there will be some special curated sections. We will share the details about these in the coming weeks.

We invite you to send us 2 dvds of your latest film for preview.  The Entry Form and Rules & Regulations are attached to this mail and are also available at the links given below.  For more information about past festivals please visit www.iawrtindia.blogspot.com
