A Prelude.
December 8, 2007
The FulMarxx Shorts Fest is devoted to bringing together diverse film making talents in India and provide them with a springboard to fame and success, through a national event which would soon become a part of a filmmaker’s calendar of events. In this venture to promote and encourage our country’s independent cinema, we have chosen to embrace short movies.
We refuse to be yet another event on the festival circuit. Our purpose is to be a keystone in the empowerment of this country’s diverse talent and aspirations. We believe cinema has more power to shape emotions and passions than politicians, corporations or the state.
Apart from providing an overdue platform for the makers of short film of the country, the festival shall make every effort to evolve Ahmedabad as the independent film capital of India, drawing filmmakers from across the country and from various demographics, thus contributing to the vibrant cultural renaissance of the city.

Fulmarxx has brought something which every ahmedabadi wanted since ages….. A Platform to Showcase talent…We have the Talent but there was lack in initiative. The initiative by Fulmarxx will give platform to the whole lot of talented people who aspire to do something big but can only start with small. I am very much exited to see the participants coming up with movies to showcase in the festival. I am sure; we are going to see some excellent piece of art from the participants.
All the very best to FulMarxx team. Chears…

Hi Chirag!
We thank you for your appreciation and keen interest in Fulmarxx Shorts Fest, India’s Largest Short Film Festival.
As you rightly pointed, FulMarxx Shorts Fest is our endeavor to provide a promising platform to the unexplored pool of film making talent, not only in Ahmedabad, but throughout India.
Along with our quest for the search of good filmmakers, here is a chance for our Ahmedabad crowd to get a real taste of a Film Fest in their own city.
The overwhelming support and response that we are receiving stands a testimony to the fact that this short fest would sure be a “look forward to” event for our amdavadis.
Don’t miss the events.
Trust us; it would an experience of the Lifetime.
Regards
Team FulMarxx

First of all congratulations, very happy to know about Fulmarxx, who brought ….. The Platform for new talent…I’m leaving in Auckland right now doing filming things. In Dec 2007 I was @ Ahmedabad but unfortunately was not aware about it. Anyway this time will not be able to participate with my short “THE GIFT “and can’t see the festival also. Missing all this lot!!!!
All the luck to FulMarxx team.

The Indian film industry is on a phase when it is observing a chance not only in terms of the audience but also in the way our films are made and presented.FulMarxx is the face of that change. Here’s wishing the FulMarxx team all the very best for all its future fests. The industry needs this makeover. Carry on the good work.
Cheers
