MUMBAI, Oct 20 - As part of its initiative to portray message-oriented films as a strong medium of communication among children, the Children�s Film Society of India (CFSI) has organised an 11-day film festival in Manipur and Sikkim from October 17 to 27.
The festival, which opened in Imphal on October 17, would travel to eight cities in Manipur and Sikkim in the next few days to showcase message-oriented and meaningful films, CFSI said in a release here today.
