Devashish Sargam Raj, the founder and director of the festival, expressed his excitement about the 7th edition, stating, “This is our seventh year, and we are thrilled. It’s an honor to have Anup Jalota’s blessings with us; he has been supporting us for years. We are grateful for his encouragement. Seven is considered a lucky number, and we are proud to have conducted screenings at INOX theaters this year. Our jury members selected 20 grand films for the screenings, and even during the COVID era, we held the festival online, which received a great response. It’s been a memorable journey.”
Eminent astrologer and jury member Pandit Suvashit Raj shared his thoughts on the festival’s growth: “Entering its seventh year, the Moonwhite Films International Film Festival continues to be an excellent platform for all kinds of films. Seven is truly a lucky number, but the eighth year will be even more fortunate. As a jury member, I’ve watched several films, and it’s clear that they were made with great effort and passion. The festival’s reputation has grown internationally, and the quality of the event has improved each year.”
Composer Vivek Prakash highlighted the significance of the number seven: “Seven is a special number—seven notes, seven seas, seven colors, and this is the seventh year of this festival. Devashish ji’s hard work has brought this festival to its seventh year. He deserves congratulations for organizing this event on a no-profit, no-loss basis, providing a deserving platform for talented artists.”
The 7th MWFIFF has truly become a beacon for filmmakers and artists, continuing to grow in stature and recognition with each passing year.
