DBBISFFI - A drab name for a lovely venture: Don Bosco Bicentenary International Short Film Festival of India. But really a beautiful idea... Simultaneously held at 55 cities across India. I participated in it to watch some of the already selected films at Don Bosco Bhavan, Nashik, yesterday. Thanks to Jude, Goyal, and Christopher, and the other local and national organizers.
Reynold reports on his blog (slightly edited): "On the evening of 8 August 2015, I together with my community members had an opportunity to attend the film festival DBBISFFI at Don Bosco Parish conducted by BOSCOM - the department of Salesian Social Communications in India/South Asia. I had a good time. I enjoyed all the short films that were shown to us, but the best ones for me were “Love at First Sight” and “Kurtha”.
This film festival was conducted in honour of Don Bosco the father and founder of the Salesian congregation to mark the conclusion of his birth bicentenary 1815 -2015, and only the best videos were shown."
Ivo reports about the Mumbai (Matunga) event: "The DBBISFFI (Don Bosco Bicentenary International Short Film Festival of India) was held at 55 locations in 18 different states in India today. I happened to be in Don Bosco Matunga, and saw a couple of films: a bit of "Not Anymore", on the situation in Syria; "Devil in the Black Stone", a snippet from the life of a dirt poor Muslim family of 3 widows and a boy; "The Journey," which is Thathi Reddy's movie on the vocation journey of a young salesian; "Rage," which is about road rage and the disorder that leads to it; "Final Cut," from Poland; "Amoortha," shot in Kannada; "Fulwanti and Slim-C," an animated movie; "I 4 U," a 2 min. movie encouraging people to donate their eyes and other organs. Excellent choices. The Rector Major will give away the awards when he comes to Delhi later this year."
