Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir's first-ever national film festival will be held from June 15-20 and the event will highlight films, music and a creative ecosystem, an official spokesman said here on Sunday.
The National Film Festival of Jammu and Kashmir (NFFJK) is being organised by the Jammu and Kashmir Film Development Council in association with the National Film Development Corporation in Srinagar, he said.
Indian filmmakers and music producers, besides artists, have been invited to submit their original films fiction, documentary, over the top (OTT) or short films and music videos.
