The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting on Wednesday announced the merger of its four-film media units- Film Divisions, Directorate of Film Festivals (DFF), National Film Archive of India (NFAI), Children’s Film Society of India (CFSI)- with National Film Development Corporation (NFDC).
MIB said in a press note, “Bringing all these activities under single management will reduce the overlap of various activities and ensure better utilization of public resources. The mandate for the production of feature films is already being carried out by NFDC. It will give a strong impetus to the production of films of all genres including feature films, documentaries, children’s films, and animation films; promotion of films through participation in different international festivals and organizing various domestic festivals; preservation of filmic content, digitization and restoration of films; and distribution and outreach activity.”
Effective April 1, 2022, the mandate of the Films Division for ‘Production of Documentary Films’ will be transferred to NFDC and will be produced under the production vertical, Financial Express reported.
The ministry also stated that the director-general of the Films Division will have to commence the knowledge transfer to NFDC, ensuring the transition, with immediate effect.
