		The Bring Your Own Film Festival (BYOFF) is a film festival started off in year 2004 in the beaches of the temple town Puri, in Orissa state of India.
		However the timetable is not rigid; the organisers say the festival is open ended and will finish only when people want it to, subject to constraints of resources.
		This year the festival is being held from 21 to 25 February, 2006.

	How to Start Your Own Film Festival
		As common, the film market outside of the United States led the trend, but it was the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah that paved the way for smaller festivals today, such as Slamdance, Taos Talking Pictures, Chicago Underground, and the Telluride festival.
		Film is glamorous to a lot people too, and whether they have a lot or a little to give, the association with movies and movie stars helps them out too.
		Not all festivals pay for everything listed here, but remember that filmmaking is an expensive medium, and the filmmakers may not be able to afford to come or they may be too famous to expect to come for free or for too little.

	Bring your own film festival, puri
		It’s a festival without hierarchy, competition, juries and awards where not only filmmakers but also artists from other fields like music, theatre, painting and photography are encouraged to participate and show their work.
		In short, BYOFF can be best described as an informal and intimate gathering of artists with films in the backdrop where screenings go on early into the morning hours- first, inside make-shift tents and then in the open air after sun down.
		And the mood of the festival is that of a no hold bar carnival where the sea and its sand provide the right ambience to lift the spirits of every one present.

	The Bring Your Own Film Festival Puri
		This is the blog of the Bring Your Own Film Festival held in Puri, India every February.All people interested in the festival can write in to the blog at byoffpuri@rediffmail.com and please mark it: for blog.
		Large display boards at the venue will give information about the screenings (and film makers would also be able to put up their publicity material there) We are also keen to include other artists in our endeavour...so we hope to have a gathering of musicians, painters, sculptors....but it will remain, essentially, a film festival.
		True, there are a few film festivals with such opportunities, but mainly in the oppressive atmosphere of big cities and sometimes under the cloud of a bureaucratic government machinery.

	A hatke film fest!
		The Bring Your Own Film Festival began in Puri last year when a small group of young filmmakers in Orissa decided to have an alternative platform for filmmakers, away from the big cities.
		The first BYOFF saw about 100 films -- from one minute capsules to three hour-long full length features -- being screened on the picturesque Puri beach, and about 250 enthusiasts and filmmakers attending.
		Among the participants is Subhadro Chowdhury, whose debut film Prohor won the special jury award at the International Film Festival of India in 2003, and documentary filmmaker Pankaj Advani, who has contributed to the BYOFF fund.

	The Hindu : Puri's free-for-all film festival
		The festival hopes to fill a need to have a platform for creative interactions among makers of documentaries and shorts — genres for which India has few channels of distribution and exhibition.
		BYOFF's timing adds to the voice of the film-makers who were shocked by overt and covert attempts at MIFF to censor films critical of government policy.
		BYOFF could well be an answer to this need, especially if it is able to present annual editions in different small-town venues.

	Films Hold Their Own Against Paradise at Maui Film Festival
		Film festivals, whenever and wherever in the world they may be, have a funny habit of making time stand still, or at least seeming to.
		And the festival itself is but one part of a popular, year-round series of film screenings that brings the best of contemporary independent and world cinema to local residents, suggesting that festival founder and co-director (with wife Stella) Barry Rivers has found a way of having his pineapple and eating it too.
		And festival patrons rarely had to worry about being well-fed, especially on the afternoon of the annual Taste of Wailea event, when local restaurateurs (including the likes of Wolfgang Puck) offered up a sampling of their most succulent delicacies.

		To describe this film as dishonest and demagogic would almost be to promote those terms to the level of respectability.
		Thus, in spite of the film's loaded bias against the work of the mind, you can grasp even while watching it that Michael Moore has just said, in so many words, the one thing that no reflective or informed person can possibly believe: that Saddam Hussein was no problem.
		By all means go and see this terrible film, and take your friends, and if the fools in the audience strike up one cry, in favor of surrender or defeat, feel free to join in the conversation.

		The opening night film was Jake West's "Razor Blade Smile," which attempted to give the well explored vampire theme a different twist by taking the vampire queen into the modern world and exposing how she lives her life, using her own kooky narration.
