sixteen: nine International Film Festival , an annual two-day festival allows students from around the globe to make their mark in the world of the cinema. It is Mumbai's first student-organised international film festival for aspiring student filmmakers to go international. After its successful first and second year, the students of Shri Vile Parle Kelavani Mandal's (SVKM) Usha Pravin Gandhi College of Management once again provide the global student community with an opportunity to make a difference to the art of filmmaking in their own way.

What sets this festival apart is that, sixteen: nine International Film Festival features on and off-venue for its non-filmmaking participants. These events are meticulously crafted to test the participants' ability to put their cinema quotient to practical use. The festival has also the pledged support of ace directors, veteran actors, punctilious cinematographers, and the seminars and workshops held by them are another thing to look forward to. Don't fret if you can't attend the festival, you can always log on here and enjoy live webcast of the events as they happen.
