Founded in 1952, the International Film Festival of India, popularly known as IFFI, is one of the most significant film festivals in Asia and is held annually. The festival aims to provide a common platform for the world to showcase the excellence of film art.
It is jointly conducted by the National Film Development Corporation of India, under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, and the state government of Goa. This year marks the 53rd edition of the prestigious awards event.
