Harkat is back with the fifth edition of the 16mm film festival, a festival exclusively screenings works done on celluloid film. We welcome all kinds of films from a diverse range of contexts, as long as they are made on celluloid film. That the visuals speak to the medium is what we look for.

The 16mm Film Festival, conceived with a view of re-connecting with the cinematic medium through it's celluloid history has been drawing an amazing response these past few years, with year long workshops and screenings The festival has been working it's way through re-building and supporting infrastructure for filmmakers and artists who want to work on film since the past 5 years.

This year, with support from the Gujral Foundation, Harkat is now an artists DIY film lab based in Mumbai and has been running a regular residency and workshop. We will be presenting a lot of these works at this years festival.

Apart from the usual fare of bringing films made on film to the film capital of India, facilitating the production of 5 one minute films by young film makers and conducting beginner and advanced workshops, the festival will be announcing a year long slate of engagements and facilitation in the realm of film.

Another big announcement is that we have loosened our guidelines to also accept films shot on film but with their final prints on digital mediums. Though we will, and always, give preference to films shown on film.

The Harkat 16mm Film Festival is organised by Harkat Studios, an alternative arts space and a film production company based in Mumbai and Berlin.
