Routes 2 Roots held the fifteen-day School Cinema International Film
Festival (SCIFF) through its digital program platform for its
beneficiaries across India. These are ways of motivating the
children towards the vast canvas of art and culture giving them
international exposure and a platform to highlight their talent to
the world.
SCIFF, curated for children, featured movies from 20 plus countries
including Saudi Arabia, France, Spain, Iran, Mexico, Germany, USA,
United Kingdom, China, India, Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium, Canada,
Australia, South Africa, Finland, Armenia, Turkey, Hungary and
Iceland among others. Movies in different genres and languages were
screened daily for students of the cultural education program. A
unique feature of the movies included in this festival was that all
of them were directed and made by talented children from these
countries. The selected movies also included some silent films and
all of them were screened free of cost for the NGO’s beneficiaries
across the schools in India in a festival through 16th
August to 31st
August.
