Festival overview

About Parashar Prize 9.3

Physical film festival with submission categories including Parashar Prize For Best Short Film and Parashar Prize For Best Short Script (Only For Indians).

Gopalganj is known as the “Temple City of Mata Thawye. Bihar is also home to a large art and craft community, a growing filmmaking community, and generous patrons of the arts making bihar audiences a hallmark of the festival.

Sophisticated movie-goers of all ages and backgrounds - hungry for the quality independent film - audiences are receptive, opinionated and genuine. The organizers of Parashar Motion Pictures Present, also hope that an important by-product of this festival will be the creation of fertile ground for the conception of international co-production ventures.

On a philosophical level, the goal of PMPP is to become a venue for filmmakers from around the world to engage in artistic discussions and interactions and become the standard-bearer of artistic self-expression and independent cinema. Screening a film at PP is a catalyst for generating awareness and buzz in the epicentre of the country that radiates through the region.
