Facebook launches a film festival

MUMBAI: After Twitter launched the Tweeple Film Awards, now Facebook has launched Onecloudfest, in which the number of ‘Likes’ will determine the winning films.
  
This film festival is being conducted by a team of independent filmmakers.

The entries will be accepted under the categories of ‘Narrative Shorts’, ‘Animations’, ‘Music Videos’ and ‘Documentary Shorts’.

While ‘Music Videos’ will be less than 15 minutes long, the other categories will be under 30-minutes. 
 
The importance of social media has been growing by the day. Besides connecting friends and like-minded people, the media has made inroads into the world of films.

“The inspiration section of the festival would be retrospective in nature that will screen selected, established short and long formats that have already travelled most festival circuits”, an official statement said.

The festival would be one year long. The year would be divided into four quarters and the final phase of the festival will be held from December to February. An ‘Audience Award’ will be given in each category.
