Gowariker said, “The audience here demonstrates immense enthusiasm for cinema. Marathwada is home to many talented artists. This is the first festival I’ve attended where I couldn’t watch a single film because the past five days were packed with so many activities. However, I attended all the masterclasses and discussions, which gave me an opportunity to learn a lot.”
Chandrakant Kulkarni, the Artistic Director of the festival, highlighted the diverse participation, saying, "Audiences from 30 cities, ranging from Nanded to New York, attended this festival. Films from 24 countries were showcased, drawing viewers aged 18 to 85. What sets this festival apart is the active involvement of several directors as organisers, who are making films, learning in the process and using those insights to improve the festival."
