Richa Chadha has joined the jury for Short Film Section of Indian film festival of Melbourne (IFFM) 2021. The 12th edition of this festival will also have National Award-winning filmmaker Onir, along with Richa in the jury of Short Film Section. The theme for this year’s short film competition is ‘Modern Slavery and Equality’. It aims to address the threats to these principles in the contemporary world. Richa Chadha says, “Being a part of IFFM Short Film Festival 2021 as a jury member is an incredible feeling. To be back here again, but as a judge this time, is very exciting.”

She adds, “We are sure to expect some astounding short films on the theme of modern slavery and equality, both of which are complex subjects. Also, speaking from experience, I am aware of how difficult it is to tell an entire story within a short span of time, that too on such an important theme – so I’m really looking forward to all the short film entries this year.”
