Today the curtains came down on the <\/span>Edits Film Festival<\/span><\/a> in Mumbai, in the presence of filmmaker Farah Khan, festival judges Ahsaas Channa, Dolly Singh, Nikhil Taneja and Rajeev Masand and over <\/span>100<\/b> content creators in the audience. The festival awarded its winners \u2013 Ishank Gupta (<\/span>@filmmaker.ishank<\/b><\/a>),<\/span> Sanya Rohillaa (<\/span>@bunniestbunnytoeverbunnny<\/b><\/a>)<\/span> and Ahsan Vazir (<\/span>@ahsan_vazir__ <\/b><\/a>) for their great storytelling and use of Edits for editing their content.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Submissions for the Edits Film Festival commenced in August, where in a duration of 45 days, you were encouraged to submit a piece of content made from unpolished videos in your camera roll, and edited using Edits, Instagram\u2019s video editing app. While the <\/span>Official Selection<\/span><\/a> played at the festival demonstrated this, the top three in particular, selected by the jury, displayed a rare sense of adventure, restraint and skill.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The top three submissions, by Ishank Gupta (<\/span>@filmmaker.ishank<\/b><\/a>),<\/span> Sanya Rohillaa (<\/span>@bunniestbunnytoeverbunnny<\/b><\/a>)<\/span> and Ahsan Vazir (<\/span>@ahsan_vazir__ <\/b><\/a>), stood out for diverse storytelling, and use of Edits features in them. The winners were selected by <\/span>Ahsaas Channa, Dolly Singh, Nikhil Taneja and Rajeev Masand.\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cEnabling creators with the right tools, platforms and opportunities is central to what we do. The festival opened up new creative possibilities, encouraging creators to experiment with features they hadn\u2019t used before and tell stories in fresh ways. We\u2019re thankful to our jury members and to Farah Khan for the invaluable perspective she shared on her storytelling journey.\u201d<\/span><\/i> \u2013 <\/span>Ankit Rihal, Head of Global Partnerships, Meta, India<\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Film maker Farah Khan was the special guest at the event, who spoke about her approach to content creation and film making, which is a rare combination of someone who\u2019s made feature films for theatres, as well as online content for Reels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cPeople assume there\u2019s a big plan behind it, but I don\u2019t overthink what I post. Gen Z has inspired me \u2014 they\u2019re so nonchalant about it, no second-guessing. Be it a clip from my show, a random chat or a bit of mischief on the spot, everything is spontaneous for me. I think relatability and realness, with a bit of humor, are what audiences actually respond to on Instagram.\u201d <\/span><\/i>\u2013 <\/span>Farah Khan\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Follow @metaindia and #EditsFilmFestival for seeing more updates from the event. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nTop Submissions from the festival\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n
