2. ABOUT ‘AIM’
We at AIM, Avenues of International Media, have created a platform to represent films of all genre in the
international market.
We enroll the feature films , documentaries, short films , & films for mobile content.
Through this platform, we approach the TV channels & also distributors interested in International creative
content(subtitled in English)
Brief:
Apart from a very minimal % of commercial cinema, very few of the path breaking cinema gets to see the
light of the day.
It does not mean that every film that has released is good & every film that has not released is not worth
watching….
Money & effort that goes into making films is unbeatable, still without the recovery aspects people make
films… all over the world…
WE ARE HERE
Since it is expensive for an indie film maker to attend film markets worldwide to sell his film,
& moreover distributors are interested in bulk purchase rather than single films.
AIM represents these indie film makers in International Film Markets.

4. With the high end digital cameras in hand, youngsters are making films which appeal to them,
now, to have a one to one rapport with these young film makers, & appreciate every single
short film made by young or old… even from the remotest region of the world.. AIM is
launching the AIM MUMBAI INTERNATIONAL SHORT FILM CARNIVAL ( AIM MISFC). AIM’s
viewpoint behind this is to connect with the youth globally & honor the promising film makers of
tomorrow, to catch their vibrant ... volatile thought process… bring them together to form a
global youth community of film makers.
The stories they tell, the characters they interweave, the music they reproduce, the
instruments they play, the beats they dance to …. the culmination of all these is just UNIQUE.
The youth of the world across speaks thru the camera. Their films explore into their vision.
To make it entirely youth oriented in real sense, we plan to get attached to all MEDIA platforms
which have a presence locally-nationally-internationally, so youth across the globe can be
notified of the developments .
