First Cut is an all India festival of student films organized by FLAME University to provide an active platform to young filmmakers in the country and encourage them to explore the medium of film as a reflection of the society they inhabit as well as a potential agent of change. First Cut believes that freedom is essential for any creative work and hence provides its participants the complete freedom to choose their own themes and style of work.
First Cut offers young filmmakers a platform to showcase their talent in fiction and well as documentary filmmaking. Additionally, there is the unique ‘Nano Film’ category that will challenge one’s creativity in making super-short films.
