Marking the festive celebrations of Sankranti and Pongal, AVAA Entertainments, led by Vishnu Manchu, has officially announced the launch of the AVAA International Short Film Contest – Season 1. This unique initiative is aimed at discovering and nurturing promising new filmmaking talent from across India, while also extending warm festive greetings to audiences and aspiring creators.

Designed as a director-focused platform, the contest places complete emphasis on storytelling and creative vision. Aspiring filmmakers are invited to submit short films with a maximum runtime of 10 minutes, which will be judged purely on originality, narrative strength, and execution, without being influenced by star presence, budgets, or production scale.

The contest’s biggest highlight is its grand prize, offering the winning director a rare and life-changing opportunity to direct a ₹10-crore feature film, produced by Vishnu Manchu himself. Known for his consistent efforts in encouraging new talent, Vishnu Manchu aims to provide a strong and credible launchpad for deserving filmmakers to enter mainstream cinema.

With the introduction of the AVAA International Short Film Contest, AVAA Entertainments has once again reaffirmed its commitment to discovering fresh voices and supporting the next generation of Indian filmmakers. The initiative is expected to attract wide interest from aspiring directors across the country, giving talent and vision the spotlight they truly deserve.
