Express News Service When over 2,800 film entries from 108 countries based on a single theme — Cure, Safety Measures and Life during the COVID-19 — are received for a film festival, it is a record of sorts. That is why Union Minister of Information & Broadcasting, Environment, Forest & Climate Change Prakash Javadekar made a note of this and suggested that the organiser, Indian Infotainment Media Corporation (IIMC), send this feat to the Limca Book of Records. Speaking at the inauguration of the first virtual International Corona Virus Short Film Festival at the NDMC Convention Centre in New Delhi, the Minister said, “The lockdown period witnessed a revolution in communication with people exploring their creative side while sitting at home. Short films were made dime a dozen.” Javadekar added that defeating hurdles and rising over problems is what human spirit is all about. “We, at no point, should feel disheartened,” he remarked, sharing that the international film fest will be held at Goa in a virtual manner.
