Jammu and Kashmir’s first-ever national film festival will be held from June 15-20 and the event will highlight films, music, and a creative ecosystem, an official spokesman said on Sunday.
The National Film Festival of Jammu and Kashmir (NFFJK) is being organized by the Jammu and Kashmir Film Development Council in association with the National Film Development Corporation in Srinagar, PTI reported from Srinagar.
Indian filmmakers and music producers, besides artists, have been invited to submit their original films fiction, documentary, over the top (OTT), or short films and music videos.
