The logo looks beautiful with the shell motif! But why only 24 films? Goa has so much talent - they should expand the selection. Still, great initiative for local filmmakers.

As someone who attended IFFI last year, I'm excited to see Goa developing its own film culture. The short film competition is a brilliant idea to encourage new talent!

August is monsoon season in Goa - hope they have proper arrangements. Otherwise, what a fantastic way to celebrate 75 years of Goan cinema! My grandfather acted in the first Konkani talkie ❤️

Good move but why not include films from other Indian languages too? Goa has such diverse culture. Could have made it more inclusive while keeping focus on regional cinema.

The cash prizes will really help indie filmmakers! Hope they maintain transparency in selection though - no 'sifarish' culture please. Want to see real talent get recognition ✨
