Nandita, who has directed critically-acclaimed "Firaaq", believes film festivals create more space for independent films.
"I have done over 30 films and most of them have been in the independent space. I don't have DVDs of most of the films because many of them couldn't be released. Many of the independent films suffered the most because of not having the skills or platform to release their films," added Nandita.
"While I don't understand the market world still because even I had to face similar challenges for my film 'Firaaq'. It's wonderful that film festivals are presenting an opportunity for several independent films. More the number of festivals, merrier it is for young filmmakers as well audiences," she said.
