JOHN ABRAHAM FILM AWARDS

JOHN ABRAHAM (1937-1987), the guiding spirit behind radical initiatives for people's cinema in Malayalam, extended the horizons of film making, aesthetically and politically. His films include Agraharathil Kazhuthi(1977), Cheriyachante Kroorakrthyangal(1979) and Amma Ariyan(1986).
JOHN ABRAHAM FILM AWARDS were originally instituted in 1999 as an annual film award for the best Malayalam feature film, short film and documentary by the South -West Region of FFSI. From 2005 onwards, with the launching of SIGNS, the competition for documentaries and short feature has been extended to the national level.
