It's the first time that Nidhi is screening her film in India, something she's really excited about.
“It is little short for a long film and a little long for a short film. It just happened to be like this and it’s great opportunity for me to have the film play here,” said Nidhi.
Unfortunately, the festival, which celebrates women filmmakers and is in it's second year, seems to have few takers.

Though it has managed to get more than 100 films from 30 countries this year, what’s missing is the audience.
The organisers seemed to be missing too. Israel is the country of focus at the festival but there's no one to guide an official from Israel Embassy who came to represent her country.
“This kind of a thing needs great publicity. People need to know about it. I know, you know, filmmakers know but the purpose is that people should know,” says the head of scientific and cultural affairs at the Israel Embassy, Tammy Ben-Haim.
According to the schedule, women filmmakers like Aparna Sen are to be honoured at the event.
But with little publicity and no enthusiasts, the effort behind the International Women's Film Festival seems to be all for a lost cause.
