For the first time in history, the International Children's Film Festival India held every alternate year in Hyderabad will have a package of films highlighting children's right to information.
The package, which comprises around eight films made by children filmmakers from Andhra Pradesh's Medak district, is the result of a unique collaboration between the festival and Unicef marking the 20th anniversary of the Convention of the Rights of the Child.
Among the over 70 films to be screened at the festival will be a special package of films from Unicef, and this partnership between the Children's Film Society of India (CFSI) and Unicef is going to be a long-term one. CFSI chairperson Nandita Das says the 16th edition of the festival, starting in Hyderabad on November 14, will also have several sessions devoted to discussions on cinema and entertainment vis-à-vis children.
