BOLLYWOOD INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL (BIFF)

Overview

India is a land of art and cultural heritage and it is spread in various forms in our society whether it's dance, drama, music, films, painting, sports, etc. Being a global enterprise, Indian Cinema (Bollywood) is a remarkable example of our cultural diversity and it has the greatest influence on India's national identity. We always celebrate our art and one of the best ways is to do so is film festivals. There are many film festivals in Asia where filmmakers and film lovers alike can celebrate the best and the brightest. We are adding one more precious feather to it and that’s the BOLLYWOOD INTERNATIONAL FILMFESTIVAL (BIFF). Launched in January 2020, Bollywood International Film Festival–BIFF is founded by some of the best-known actors, directors and film professionals. BIFF intends to provide a place that connects the film lovers and makers around the world. This film festival promotes new movie makers, looking to get publicity for their films, exchange of knowledge, information, ideas, the culture of India and other nations in their social and cultural ethos. The festival will host various forums for academic interactions on Filmmaking, Film Appreciation like seminars, Workshops, Master classes etc., for the benefit of film professionals, discerning audience and students on unique aspects of cinema. We invite filmmakers, people from the film fraternity, film critics, journalists, discerning cineastes from amongst the public & International and National film Institutes; distribution agencies/organisations, to witness the glorious start of BIFF. We sincerely hope the film lovers will use this opportunity to enroll as delegates and enjoy the contemporary world cinema and the classics.

  One must submit your film here. Such a warm response and first hand interactions with Yashpal Sir and Praribha Mam. This year Mukesh Chabbra sir stole the show with his masterclass! This festival is bound to grow. Being adjudged a winner here, repeating the feat will get tougher and tougher. Great food, hospitality for those who attended

  ISOMES students got the privilege to represent its college for its documentary winning in the Best Student Director category. It was a very well managed event, giving equal opportunity to the students to participate & speak their minds. We congratulate the organisers and look forward to be a part of the BIFF next year too!

  This year's (2025) festival featuring films, short films and documentaries, was unique in terms of its diversity and the exchange between filmmakers. The jury honoured young filmmakers in particular for their creativity with an award. I am truly happy that I was able to take part in the festival. It was well organised, and all the participants were like one big family. I felt overwhelmed and deeply honoured to receive an award for our documentary film. However, this award is not mine alone, but belongs to my Malawian team and, above all, to the refugees in the Dzaleka refugee camp and the host community in Malawi. We are grateful that we were able to document their lives and the Tumaini Festival – the world's only cultural festival in a refugee camp. Thanks to the jury and the organisers for recognising our documentary film and thus the stories that it tells. This award helps raise awareness of the human rights of refugees. It draws attention to their situation, a delicate balance between survival and hope. The BIFF is awesome and for sure worth attending.
