The Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute will present works by its students and faculty at the upcoming Goa International Film Festival, aiming to increase their visibility in the industry.
The Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute (SRFTI) has confirmed its participation in the Goa International Film Festival, scheduled later this year. The institute plans to screen a selection of short films, documentaries and experimental works created by its current students and teaching staff. By featuring these pieces alongside professional entries, SRFTI hopes to provide its budding filmmakers with broader industry exposure and networking opportunities.
Organisers of the festival have allocated dedicated screening slots for the institute, and representatives from SRFTI will attend panel discussions and workshops. The initiative aligns with the institute's ongoing effort to bridge academic training with real‑world cinematic platforms.
The move is expected to benefit both the participants, who gain visibility among producers and distributors, and the festival, which adds a fresh academic perspective to its program. SRFTI officials said the exposure will also help students secure future projects and collaborations.
The Goa International Film Festival, known for its eclectic mix of Indian and international cinema, will run for ten days across multiple venues in Goa. SRFTI's involvement underscores the growing importance of educational institutions in shaping India's film landscape.
