first floor of Ravindra Bharathi will be given free of cost to young directors to screen their short films. Two short films will be allowed to be screened followed by a discussion.The hall in the complex was renovated at a cost of `80 lakh recently enabling the directors to screen their short films.

The cultural department has been organising short film festivals for one week once every year. Now, every Saturday will be a free-zone for directors to promote their short films.
