Orissa Film Festival

An unique saga of orissa film festival with essence of Live stage performance by bollywood & orissa stars, & singers

Orissa Film Industry (OFI) is one of the oldest film industries of India. It is loaded with highly talented and spirited people. Most of them have proved themselves in Hindi film industry, South Indian films and even at international level. Orissa Film Industry's caliber is second to none and it has potential to compete at national and international level. Every year films made in Orissa participate in various national and international film festivals and earn lots of appreciation. In spite of all this Orissa film industry is deprived of the attention it deserves. It is considered as small and one of the least recognized industries. Oriya films and albums do not have market at national level. Even within the state they find it difficult to compete with Hindi and English films/albums.

One of the reasons for all this is lack of proper marketing. OFI needs proper exposure to get recognized at national and international circles. Keeping this in view 'VISION' has incorporated 'Orissa Film Industry' section in its OFI AWARD.2008,

This is dedicated to the glamour world of Orissa and showcases the OFI.

There is a lot of talent hidden in the state which is being lost due to lack of recognition. 'VISION ' recognizes the potentials of all those hidden 'talents' and provides them a gateway to the glamour world. The 'Model Hunt' section gives a platform to the up-coming models and actors to exhibit themselves. The basic idea is to give National and International exposure to Oriya films and Albums and other products of OFI. AWARD. As we are in the Entertainment World and have no boundaries, the reach will be unlimited. Oriya film lover sitting in any corner of the world can get full glimpse about OFI through this huge Event which will be Telecasted in a big National Television Channel and followed by media hype Worldwide. This will create new status for Oriya Film/Album and add greater dimension to it.

'VISION ' endeavors to create a special place for 'Orissa Film Industry' on the map of 'Global Cinema'. So we are also involving entire BOLLYWOOD to make the event a grand charming and encouraging. We strive to ensure that the 'talents' of the state get a fair chance to exploit their skills and get national and international recognition. We hope OFI AWARD 2008 reaches greater heights and make the state proud..

Part of the sponsorship amount will be used to create a fund for helping poor and inactive film personalities who are achievers in their respective fields Since the 1938 but are not able to fulfill their dreamz due to financial needs.
