MESSAGE
I am very glad that the 48th International Film Festival of India (IFFI, 2017) is being organized from 20th
- 28th of November, 2017, in the beautiful beach state Goa.
Being one of the strongest mediums of mass communication, cinema can have tremendous impact on
society. It reflects on the ideological, cultural, socio-political and economic structures of a society, while
enthralling audiences with their individual narratives.
For the past four decades of its existence, IFFI has relentlessly been trying to treat its participants by
showcasing films from around the world that shed light on the socio-cultural structures and dynamics
of different societies.
I take immense pleasure in welcoming all of you to this grand event and I extend my heartiest
congratulations to the organizers of the festival.

soft power.
Over the years, IFFI has captured the emerging contemporary trends of cinema from a global and
Indian perspective. As a platform, it has always encouraged the participation of young film makers
and creative geniuses. The 48th Edition of IFFI will be a new experience for all cinema lovers. The

MESSAGE
I am delighted that the 48th International Film Festival is going to commence in our strikingly beautiful
and picturesque state of Goa, on 20th November, 2017 and will continue till 28th November, 2017.
For the past 13 years, my state has been hosting the Festival. Our state has always been a favorite
film location for Indian and international filmmakers. Since 2004, when IFFI was permanently moved to
Goa, the Konkani / Goan film industry has seen remarkable growth in the quality and quantity of films
produced, as IFFI has successfully implanted a taste for good cinema among our people. For them,
cinema is no longer just a means of entertainment, but also a source to enhance their awareness and
perspectives.
Not only does IFFI provide lovers of cinema an opportunity to indulge into a cinematic fiesta for 9
eventful days, it also provides them the opportunity to explore the rich culture, food, art and architecture
of Goa. The special events organized by the Entertainment Society of Goa during the festival add
colour to the festival.
I take this opportunity to welcome all cinema lovers from around the country and the world to join us in
celebrating one of the largest carnivals of cinema. I wish the Festival all the success.

FESTIVAL DIRECTOR
48TH INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL OF INDIA
MESSAGE
Over the years, the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) has created a firm place for itself in the
global Film Festival calendar. Organised under the aegis of the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting,
Government of India, IFFI has become one of the most important Film Festivals in the Asian region.
In this 48th edition of the Festival, we are delighted to be presenting a strong International and Indian
film programme.
This year, IFFI 2017 is proud to present the Lifetime Achievement Award to the prolific filmmaker, writer
and director, Mr. Atom Egoyan, whose works have been viewed and loved the world over. IFFI is also
elated to honour the legendary actor, Shri Amitabh Bachchan with the Indian Film Personality of the
Year Award for his tremendous contribution to Indian and global cinema.
The Festival is also delighted to open this year’s edition with renowned filmmaker Majid Majidi’s ‘Beyond
The Clouds’ and close with the well-regarded filmmaker, Pablo César’s ‘Thinking of Him’. An Iranian
Master makes his first film outside his own country and chooses to do so in India. An Argentinian
director chooses to link his country with India through a bond between major literary figures of the two
countries. Both the films reflect true Indo-international collaborations and the Make in India outlook:
filmmakers from opposite ends of the earth coming to India, not only as an extraordinary location but
also as an inspiring subject. What better way could there be of book-ending this truly International Film
Festival, that is also truly Indian at heart?
The Country Focus on Canada has been taken forward in association with Telefilm Canada and with
collaboration from the Toronto International Film Festival. We also have a selection of films from the
“Biennale College” of the Venice International Film Festival.
We are confident that all of you will enjoy the carefully curated programme of the best of international
and Indian films, many of which are being presented in the country for the first time, including some
cinematic landmarks in the Restored Classics.
Additionally, the Panel Discussions and Master Classes with industry and thought leaders form one of
the core pillars of this year’s Festival.
We also urge all of you to experience the Mixed Reality Sidebar which includes a special VR package
put together for you, in addition to the various other new initiatives in this edition, aimed at “Celebrating
the Future of Cinema”.
On behalf of the entire team of IFFI 2017, I wish you all a great Festival experience.

ICFT-UNESCO
Gandhi Medal
The International Film Festival of India (IFFI) 2017 in collaboration with the International Council
for Film, Television and Audiovisual Communication (ICFT), Paris, will present a special ICFT prize
consisting of the UNESCO Gandhi Medal awarded to a film which reflects the ideals promoted by
UNESCO.
Broad guidelines for the selection of the films

• Have a strong ethical component
• High aesthetic value
• Exhibit artistic excellence in screenplay, in film technique and music
• Attract a wide audience, especially among youth, whose view of media is distorted by violent
imagery and showy techniques which are devoid of intelligent and critical discernment
• Additionally include an educational component to cope with the flood of inappropriate
imagery commonly marketed
• Awareness of the role of the filmmaker confronting a declining society; because it is
recognized that cinematographic and video images are much more powerful than any other
means of communication
About the UNESCO Gandhi Medal

In 1994, UNESCO issued a commemorative medal marking the 125th anniversary of the birth of
Mahatma Gandhi, India’s “Father of the Nation” and the world’s advocate of non-violence, peace
and tolerance. The General Conference of one of the previous years had adopted a resolution calling
for a series of activities around the “great world personality whose thought and creative modes of
non-violent action have shaped socio-economic and political currents in the 20th century”.
The medal bears a portrait of Gandhi engraved by the French artist Pierre-Yves Tŕemois. Etched
underneath is the Mahatma’s message of hope: “In the midst of darkness light prevails”. The
reverse side carries the UNESCO Logo.

Biennale College 2017 Venezia
This year, for the very first time the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) brings to you films of
the oldest film festival of the World, Venice International Film Festival.
The films of ”BIENNALE COLLEGE 2017 VENEZIA” segment of the Venice International Film
Festival will be screened in this 48th edition of International Film Festival of India, 2017.
Biennale College is the project of La Biennale di Venezia which is dedicated to the formation of
young people in the artistic field and in the activities of the organizational structure of the Biennale.
Thus, Biennale College of Cinema was formed to inspire and promote the young budding film
maker.
This year, four films from La Biennale di Venezia would be screened, namely, Beautiful Things
directed by Giorgio Ferroro (Italy), where the director gives us a sneak peak of the men who
are monks in temples of steel and concrete carrying out their mechanical rituals in silence and
solitude, Martyr directed by Mazen Khaled (Lebanon) gives us the exploration of the journey of life
and death of a man who drowns and becomes a Martyr in Islamic religion and Strange Colours
directed by Alina Lodkina (Australia), a story about a father and a daughter mending a fractured
bond. The fourth film from this package is an Indian film Mukti Bhawan directed by Shubhashish
Bhutiani, showcasing another father-son relationship where the father has a desire to go and die
in the holy city of Varanasi in India and the son is left with no choice.
The young aspiring film makers of India would be both inspired and motivated by seeing films of
BIENNALE COLLEGE 2017 VENEZIA 74 in International Film Festival of India this year.
It is only when film festivals collaborate, cinema as an art form is celebrated in the world.
