‘Dimensions Mumbai’, the short film section of MAMI’s 13th Mumbai Film Festival (MFM), will be headed by Kiran Rao, the director of Dhobi Ghat-Mumbai DiariES. The jury includes the first time directors whose films have received wide critical acclaim as well as box office success. The other members of the jury are Vikramaditya Motwane (UDAAN), Nishikant Kamat (MUMBAI MERI JAAN), Onir (MY BROTHER NIKHIL), and Renuka Shahane (REETA).
‘Dimensions Mumbai’ is a short film competition open to young Mumbaikars below the age of 25 years. It is the brainchild of Mrs. Jaya Bachchan, one of the MAMI trustees. Short films of less than five minutes duration made in any format depicting any aspect of life in Mumbai can participate in the competition. While Dimensions Mumbai gives young filmmakers a chance to reach out to film buffs, it also offers audience new vistas to city which dreams and breathes cinema.
