We have created a platform to showcase short films from both, international as well as a regional audience. WOIS Film Fest creates a learning atmosphere comprising of free film screenings, workshops, competitions, panel discussions, and networking opportunities.
The festivals includes a diverse program in terms of genre, theme, and style through a non-competitive category that welcomes short films from all over the world, This year we are aiming to cultivate more talent through intense workshops presented by experienced individuals from within the film industry.
