Zee Talkies to showcase short film series from Jan 10

Marathi movie channel Zee Talkies today said it will start telecasting short films from January 10.

The show 'Talkies Lighthouse' will have a series of short films in an entertaining format of 90 minutes, Zee Talkies said in a statement.

"The output of Marathi films has accelerated in the last 2-3 years. We believe that there is a lot of talent which is unexposed due to lack of opportunities. There are aspiring film makers who have limited access to the audiences even though with a good product in hand," Zee Talkies Business Head Bavesh Janavlekar said.

"Until now, we were only focusing on films and film-related events, and this is the first time we are exploring an innovative approach to launch short films in a show wrapped around entertainment," he added.
 

The short films will be showcased by actors Lalit Prabhakar and Neha Mahajan.
