The 60 Second Film Festival

Morangofilms have created a platform by the name of 60-second Film Festival. The festival will call for entries in the upcoming months for content on social issues and development, entertainment, national and international issues, public service messages to name a few.

Countries, cities and communities committing to a cause or their beliefs struggle to find opportunities or creative platforms where they not only showcase their efforts but also to interact with knowledge leaders.
