Lamenting that they could not find even 12 good children's films made in India to make up an Indian section in the children's film festival, actor and now the chairperson of the Children's Film Society (CFSI) Nandita Das said that not many filmmakers are interested in making movies for children.

"Not enough filmmakers are interested in making children's films. The main reason is that the economics affect the distribution of the film. Logistically, children's films here are not very viable commercially," Das said at a press conference in the capital Wednesday.

Das said that while she wanted an Indian films section in the upcoming 16th International Children's Film Festival in Hyderabad, she could find only a handful of eligible films.
