Manish Saini : ( Festival Director ) I personally feel in India there are few film makers and very few film producers who really work for children cinema. In fact there are very rare Indian Children Films reach to the theaters, so we must make more children cinema, must have more such children film festivals, we must encourage children, parents and schools for talent to come out with good children content.
Aarti Patel : ( Festival Jury ) I feel in recent pandemic situation when children are more use to screen time, we hope to see more good children films which can motivate help and encourage children film makers and children to watch more content. We must support children film makers.
Girish Makwana : ( Festival Jury ) I personally feel making cinema on children are more difficult than other film, it is an art and we must appreciate such festivals and film makers, as such overall in India we don't even make 2% children films out of total films we make. This needs a special attention by all of us.
Chetan Chauhan : ( Founder AICFF ) We are trying to create meaningful intellectual property by way of hosting this festival. Children are the biggest story tellers in this world, and we must have them more.
