Overview
The Ahmedabad International Film Festival (AIFF) is an annual film festival based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, that has built a reputation as a major platform for Indian and international filmmakers. It is notable for its unusually broad and inclusive programming, open-submission model, and emphasis on underrepresented voices, including films by and about persons with disabilities. AIFF showcases short films, feature films, documentaries, animation, music videos, and other independent works in multiple languages, and it has grown into a prominent regional festival with global reach through large submission volumes and international participation.
