Panaji: Tablets and
mobile phones are the future platforms of documentaries and short
films, president of the Indian Documentary Producers' Association
(IDPA) Mike Pandey said Saturday.
The wildlife film maker, who was speaking to reporters at the 42nd
International Film Festival of India here, said that the IDPA in
association with the union ministry for information and
broadcasting was also looking at starting a pan-India and global
movement of screening award winning documentary films at schools
and universities.
"The future of documentaries and short films is on tabloids and
mobile phone. We have to work in that direction and promote the
use of technology for screening of films," Pandey said.
The Green Oscar award winner also said that the IDPA had tied up
with the ministry as "knowledge partners" and would help in
selecting award winning short films.
"Some of these award winning films are not shown anywhere. It is
very unfortunate. Schools and universities will be roped in this
exercise, so that films on social subjects are taken to the grass
roots where they really matter," Pandey said.
He said that, on an average, 2,000-odd short films were made in
India annually.
