Mumbai, July 22 Filmmaker Shoojit Sircar, who has been elected as the jury for the short film competition at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) 2024, has described the medium of short films as a profound art form.

The IFFM 2024 short film competition has attracted some of the best talents.

Short films are a truly profound art form, encapsulating diverse narratives and innovative storytelling techniques; they're usually the starting point for young and raw filmmakers. They serve as a powerful platform for emerging voices to shine, display creativity, and tell stories from their own unique perspectives.”
