Today in conversation with the #founder of #Kalakarifilmfestival, Rishi Nikam. An exceptionally well tailored #filmfest right from the #heart of India, Madhya Pradesh. The aim of Kalakari film fest is to promote India culture, art and artists. It is also associated with a #nobletask of feeding the poor through an NGO. For each submission that a #filmmaker makes, the festival #donates 50 #food packets to the needy. This year alone the festival received around more than 600 submissions for the virtually held film festival. 

The uniqueness lies in the #festivalhampers that were sent out to countless filmmakers in India and abroad. This hamper was designed locally and also sourced from local artists. The second edition of the Kalakari Film festival will be held next year, 2021. The festival has already received over 1000 #film entries in a month for the same. The 2021 film festival will hopefully be a star studded red-carpet event, it will also be graced with international filmmakers. 

Rishi himself is an avid filmmaker and #photographer, he also teaches filmmaking in an educational institute. The conversation is in Hindi since we believe in promoting the Indian culture and talents.
