The second International Children's Short Film Festival (ICSFF 2009) got off to a colourful start here today with eminent personalities from films, politics and sports gracing the event. Inaugurating the festival, Tamil Nadu Minister for Information Parithi Ilamvazhuthi lauded the efforts of DBICA-Don Bosco Institute of Communication Arts to promote children-based short films and appreciated the efforts of the organisation to bringing in children from various schools for a film festival. Wishing the festival a grand success, the Minister released two new DVDs of DBICA titled ''Peace Please'' and ''I am a Child''. Film Actress Roja Selvamani reminisced her childhood memories and said good value-based films, could be entertaining and educative. She exhorted the children to enjoy the viewing and affirmed that such a festival with films for school children was indeed exceptional and rare. The budding film director J S Nandhini, in her address, advised the children to be bold, courageous and optimistic in all their efforts and convinced them of the innumerable potential they have within them, to grow towards a healthy childhood.
