Sanjay Gupta supports short films promotion initiative

Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta attended an initiative on short films called Monday Premiere and said it is a "fantastic platform" for young filmmakers to showcase their talent.

The initiative took off Oct 8 at the Lagerbay restaurant and pub and it will be a regular feature at the Bandra restaurant.

Gupta visited the venue Monday to show his support to Monday Premiere, being organised in association with Large Short Films.

"It is a good initiative because there are a lot of young people across the country who want to make films and enter the industry," Sanjay told reporters here.

"They get an opportunity to showcase their talent through such platforms because we do not have enough platforms to showcase short films. This platform that they are providing is fantastic," he added.

Large Short Films has been started by filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, Sudhir Mishra, Chakri Toleti and Samar Khan.
