International Film Festival of India

The IFFI aims at providing a common platform for the cinemas of the world to project the excellence of the film art; contributing to the understanding and appreciation of film cultures of different nations in the context of their social and cultural ethos; and promoting friendship and cooperation among people of the world.

The IFFI’s founding principles centre on the following:

• discovery
• promotion 
• support of filmmaking of all genres

The Festival is an assembly of people and nations where the world’s  greatest film artistes hold hands with emerging talents on an equal footing. It is also a forum for film professionals to communicate face to face with film  lovers around the world.

IFFI aims to nurture, encourage and inspire Indian cinema and introduce it  to the world outside as well as the many audiences that coexist in this vast  and diverse country. With rapid technology changes, the importance of this  festival will only grow as it will bring viewers and filmmakers together and  expose them to emerging technologies and the challenge of the emerging new media.
