Free Spirit Film Festival 2012

The 8th Annual Free Spirit Film Festival
McLeod Ganj, India, 29 to 31 October 2012

This year's festival is being planned and we invite film submissions for screening.

The films that could not be screened last year will be in the line up. We look forward to a great selection of films this year.

The Free Spirit Film Festival has become a highlight of the budding film culture in McLeod Ganj. It's the only annual film festival that screens unique and extraordinary films from around the world. Many of the films may never be seen again even on big cinema screens.

The festival, first started in 2004, screens a diverse range of films — feature, short, documentary, music video, animation, and experimental, of any length — to expose people to different ideas, cultures, art, movements, and activism from all over the world.

Films that have been finalised for screening so far include:

  • Objet-Trouvé
    2011 Germany | 10 mins | Short Film | German with English subtitles
    Directed by Alexander Hector
  • Journey of a Dream
    2010 Canada/India/Tibet | 81 min | Feature | Tibetan with English subtitles
