From Chairman’s Desk

The year 1976 brought a new dawn in the horizon of Odia Cinema.This is the year Odisha Film Development Corporation took birth.To Promote, support and assist Odia films it has been trying relentlessly years after year.Kalinga Studio,a subsidery of OFDC was the most celebrated and well equipped studio of eastern India.But unfortunately after the 1999 super cyclone Kalinga Studio was completely devastated.Subsequently OFDC also lost its prominence.Keeping the larger interest of cinema industry and cine lovers of the state in view,the dynamic CM of Odisha Mr Naveen Patnaik has empowered OFDC with a fantastic State Film Policy which will surely change the cine scenario of the state.Makers from within and outside will be hugely benefited through the film policy.Kalinga Studio is on the process of renovation and OFDC will be fully functional within a short period.By the grace of Lord Jagannath the rich and glorious tradition of this 83 years industry will mesmerise the global audience. Jay Jagannatha.
