About the 75 Creative Minds of Tomorrow:

The second edition of ‘75 Creative Minds of Tomorrow’ at International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa concluded with the award ceremony of the “53-Hour Challenge”. The competition provided a challenge to the 75 Creative Minds selected from all over the country to produce a short film on their idea of India@100, all in 53 hours. The event involved participants, aged between 18-35 years, who hailed from different aspects of filmmaking and from across India. Among their challenges was to work in five teams and produce a short film in the space of just 53 hours and on a budget of no more than $1,000.

The five short films produced by the ‘Creative Minds of Tomorrow’ showcase their vision of India@100 and it is commendable that the best film “Dear Diary” not only has a woman protagonist, but it has also been directed by a woman. The other four films were: “Antardrishti” (The Insight) by Team Orange, “The Ring” by Team Yellow, “Almost” by Team Green and “Sau Ka Note” (100 Rupee Note) by Team Pink.
