They discussed on informative conversation on film making, the importance of good content and the opportunities lay ahead for new and aspiring film makers.<br />”<br />”Indian Jury Subbiah Nallamuthu said that it is difficult to expect technically sound films from first-time film makers. Technical aspect is automatically ignored, if content and script is good. There is a need to have separate category of awards for content, script and storytelling. He further said that new film makers need to concentrate on shorter, crispier and focused storytelling. Emotional and entertainment value is also important, he said.<br />”<br />”Mina Rad, Jury from Iran said that MIFF is more than a film festival; it’s a place to exchange, produce and celebrate South Asian and international film production. She said, MIFF has always focused to keep cultural identity of every country. She is very much interested to see how Films Division and #MIFF2020 show the heritage of the past through films. ‘While selecting films, we also took into consideration the situation or circumstances in which the film maker is making the film. It is better to make short films rather than long films that make people leave the theatres. Short duration films has got better possibilities of distribution and marketing. Film makers with the help of Films Division should also try to send their films to the best short film festivals around the world.’ Mina Rad said<br />”<br />”While Don Walman, Jury from Israel said that sometimes even when the film is technically bad, we find them more sincere and real. Too much of information will kill the emotion in the film.<br />”<br />”Jean Pierre Saire &nbsp;Jury from French has said that while selecting films, he looked whether the film resonates with the contemporary life.&nbsp;</span><br />
