For Immediate Release
Tuesday, March 09, 2010
Films are both watched and made internationally by a variety of cultures, religions, and people. The Tamil Diaspora in Canada is very talented and unique when it comes to filmmaking much like our counterparts around the world. Due to the increasing number of talented Canadian Tamil filmmakers, the Canadian Tamil Film Festival (CTFF) establishment has been created as a venue for creativity to be broadcasted. This festival gives individual filmmakers an opportunity to screen their films to the public, and gain positive feedback so that they may continue to prosper. The Canadian Tamil Film Festival (CTFF) will be held in Toronto, during August of 2010. CTFF is accepting short films, documentaries and music videos to be aired at this festival. By recognizing these filmmakers for their creation, CTFF encourages both experienced and upcoming filmmakers to gain experience for their dreams of the big screen, and to express their creativity and individuality.
“We certainly hope that Canadian Tamil Film Festival will inspire Tamil filmmakers to express themselves through the film arts” noted Rumini Nanthakumar, member of the organizing committee for CTFF.
CTFF is a project of Canadian Tamil Youth Alliance’s Arts and Culture council. The Arts and Culture council is responsible for creating an environment for youth that is inspiring and conducive of self-expression through the arts and culture. Among its key objectives are the improvement, re-orientation and expansion of programs that promote the arts and Tamil culture to Canadian Tamil youth and the broader Canadian Community.
Those aspiring individuals who wish to take part in Canadian Tamil Film Festival are invited to register before April 14th 2010. Films can be mailed or submitted in person to Canadian Tamil Film Festival by June 02nd, 2010. For further info, please contact 647 865 2892 or e-mail us at ctff@ctya.org.
