NEW DELHI: Independent filmmaker Q (Qaushiq Mukherjee) and online portal PocketFilms have teamed up to distribute offbeat and quirky independent films online.

 The slate of films including shorts, documentaries and music videos will be selected by Q.

It will include Q‘s Gandu and his national award winning documentary Love in India.
Q and his team have acquired content for the slate from Marche du Film (Cannes Film Market) this year.

"I am excited to curate films that I love and get inspired by. There is a growing interest in independent films in India, and we need to watch more films that really challenge the existing modes of cinema, and tell stories in a postmodern context," Q said.
 
PocketFilms is a portal dedicated to content by independent filmmakers, and I am certain that this slate will engage viewers and build new reference points," said Q, whose films have been picked up by international sales agents and are being distributed around the world.

"The distribution theories are being overhauled currently across the board, and I truly believe Internet is the real future for transgressive content," he added.

The new initiative called PocketOverdoseFilms will be online in the next quarter, with a collection of Indian and International independent films.
