Films Division looks for new avenues to popularise documentaries .Films Division is exploring new vistas to popularise the documentary films in India. A policy is being worked out to market the films made by the Division for the larger audience. New mediums like mobile phones, television and festivals are being considered. This was informed by the Shri Kuldeep Sinha, Chief Producer of Films Division in a press conference here today. Keeping in mind the disinclination of the theatre owners to show the Films Division documentaries, the Division has expanded the ambit of its partners including NGOs, social activists and Government departments. In the recent past, the Films Division has organized 300 such documentary festivals, giving a fillip to the cinema culture in remote places including Jammu & Kashmir and the North Eastern States, the Chief Producer informed .The Films Division has also opened an International Digital Archives for Short Films with a cache of 10,000 films. The Division aims to procure films nationally and internationally for the archives. The research and reference center at the Division is working to help the scholars in their research in the field.
