BANGALORE: A two-day Children’s India Film Festival 2008 will be held at Toronto in Canada from September 13. It is organised jointly by Children’s India, B.V. Nag Communication and Indian Languages Cultural Association.

Addressing presspersons here on Monday, president of Children’s India Nanjunde Gowda said the film festival was being organised to raise awareness and spread the country’s culture among children of people of Indian origin living abroad.

In all, six films in Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam, Hindi and Marathi would be screened during the festival, he said.
