FILM Fever !!

As the days start to stretch and the sun begins to warm the sand, the days of Puri's very own beach film festival draw near.

Yes, the annual BYOFF (Bring your own film festival) is here again!

21st – 25th February 2009

BYOFF is an informal and intimate gathering of artists. Screenings are held in make-shit tents on Puri beach and continue after sundown in the open air.

BYOFF has been an alternative platform for filmmakers ever since its first edition in the year 2004. The idea is to have a festival away from the oppressive bureaucratic atmosphere of big cities and provide a platform where just about anybody - with or without films - can participate.

The beach carnival ambiance provides the perfect atmosphere to kick back and appreciate real/reel independent cinema. Enjoy!
