Participation | Support ViBGYOR

Number Seven is very special to ViBGYOR; seven colors may make it a rainbow; but we want to go further beyond and embrace all possible, imaginable hues and shades of these seven colours. The ViBGYOR Film Collective, the registered society that runs the ViBGYOR International Film Festival and its associated activities, was born in 2006 and was formally registered in 2007. The initiative to conceive and launch ViBGYOR came from a group of 7 organizations; call them the `founding organizations, if you wish. But ViBGYOR is still in a process of being formed, redefined and remoulded; and always it will be. Now ViBGYOR is a coalition of many organizations, movements and individuals, who support its growth in many different ways.

Though ViBGYOR has progressed admirably on the organizational part of the festival since the first edition, its financial status is still instable and insecure. This is because we have not so far depended on any corporate funding, but always have sought support from people individuals, organizations and agencies/foundations. We believe that the involvement of the people in resource mobilization is as important as their role in the organization of the festival and all allied activities. This people component is an essential to the character of ViBGYOR.
