Sixth In'tel Lakeside Doc Fest-18 all set to begin in Naukuchiyatal

Nainital, Mar 15 (UNI) The sixth edition of the International Lakeside Documentary Film Festival (LDF-2018) is all set to begin in the nearby lake town of Naukuchiyatal on Friday in which several documentary filmmakers from across the world are expected to participate.

The organisers of the festinal told UNI that the 4-day international festival will conclude on Monday.

A voluntary organisation "Formedia" is the main organiser of the event.

The convener of the festival, Neelima Mathur, told that the fest was mainly supported by Goethe-Institute New Delhi while the Embassy of Switzerland, Embassy of France and Polish Institute were other supporters of the event.

‘The festival began in co-operation with DOK Leipzig of Germany in 2013. Over the years, the partnerships have extended to Film Festival Locarno-The Semaine (Switzerland), Cinema du Reel (France), Krakow Film Festival (Poland)’, Mathur told UNI.

‘‘This time the Lakeside Doc Festival - LDF 2018 is showcasing 12 international documentaries sourced from four European festivals and two Indian documentaries selected for ‘special space’, Mathur added.

Mathur also told that the setting was a non-metropolitan central Himalayan forest and lakeside.

"It is conducive to rumination and informal small-group discussions around the films. There are no parallel events, no commercial / market elements like awards and pitching. Guests just enjoy the sheer, unadulterated experience of viewing documentaries," she added.

Prior to the main event, Formedia is also organising a workshop on documentary filmmaking for the budding filmmakers of the country on 15th March.
