The exhausting Honourable Mention list might come as a surprise to many. But, you must bear in mind that these films made it to our list from the year 2015, as we didn’t keep any calendar-based restrictions. In fact, it is a miracle that the films could be cherry-picked to this extent, to present them here. The truth is, we didn’t want any restrictions on the films for our first edition. But, come 2022, the future editions of ISMSFF will be calendar-based.
Congratulations to all the winners. Our team will be reaching out to you soon with the details on how to claim your prizes (and pssst. some more exciting news!).
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the filmmakers who submitted their films, everyone who attended the festival, all our fans and well-wishers for all their love and support.
Note: The postponed special screening will be held on 16th July 2021 at 9:30 PM EDT.
