Bring Your Own Film Festival!
Recommended for Middle Grades
Bring Your Own Film Festival gives people who want to make movies a chance to show off their work. The one-of-a-kind festival takes place on Puri, Odisha’s sandy beaches.
There is no way to choose the films that are shown, and there is no jury and no awards. Anyone with a movie can show it. There is no order to things here.
What is filmmaking?
The process of making a movie is called filmmaking.
Everyone has the same level of respect for the films that are being shown. Also, they don’t mind telling each other what they think.
Key facts!
