Event Profile
IFFI (International Film Festival of India) is one of the most prestigious Film Festivals of India. Coming a long way from the first Indian International Film Festival of India held in Bombay in 1952, the festival today has earned its own place after the Paris based Federation International des Associations de Producteurs de Film (FIAPF) awarded official recognition to the Indian festival in 1963, putting it at par with that of Cannes, Berlin, Venice and Toronto. Directorate of Film Festival (DFF), Entertainment Society of Goa (ESG) and Press Information Bureau (PIB) jointly organize the festival. Held permanently in Goa since 2004, this ten days festival is attended by high profile top-notch bollywood personalities and world famous international celebrities. During the ten days period, both international and Indian films will be screened and awards like Golden Peacock awards, Silver Peacock awards and Special Jury Prizes will also be given. The IFFI festival is a perfect platform for promoting Indian films and world cinema as a whole.
