MUMBAI: After a 16-year hiatus, the Children‘s Film Society of India (CFSI) will be releasing Gattu, a film directed by Rajan Khosa, in April.
Gattu is a film about a small child and how his passion to fulfill his dreams helps him get admission in a school.
The film is the official Indian entry for the 62nd Berlin Film Festival that starts from 9 to 19 February.
Though the CFSI is trying to release the film in a big way, it doesn’t have a marketing budget. “We have asked for help from the people in the industry. I have personally given a lot of time and energy in the making and Rajan is a sincere filmmaker," observed CFSI chairperson Nandita Das.
"Finally, a film needs to hit the theatres, creating a buzz in the satellite and DVD markets. We need help from distributors and our aim is to reach out to the audience. We have got amazing feedback of the film at the International Children Film Festival," Das added.
The last film that CFSI released was Santosh Sivan‘s Halo in 1996.
