MESSAGE
I am extremely happy to welcome all of you to the 48th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) being
held in Goa from 20th – 28th of November, 2017.
Over the years, IFFI has gained the reputation of being one of the most awaited events amongst
cinema lovers from around the globe. Every year we try to enhance the quality of the Festival by taking
new initiatives, showcasing the best of films and by conducting Master Classes, Panel Discussions,
Seminars, Workshops and other special events that would help the participants to interact with the
connoisseurs of cinema and to develop an insight into the art, craft and the technique of filmmaking.
I am sure this year too IFFI will deliver an extremely diverse array of International and Indian Sections
such as the International Competition, Cinema of the World, Retrospectives, BRICS Award-Winning
films, Focus on Canada, Restored Classics, Homages, International Competition, and an Indian
Panorama Section featuring the best of Indian Cinema produced in the past year.
My special thanks to all the participants and the IFFI team for their contributions to making the Festival
successful.
