Goa hosts 43rd International Film Festival of India

The 43rd edition of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI – 2012), accredited with the International Federation of Film Producers Association (FIAPF), will be held in Goa from 20 to 30 November 2012.

One of the main components of this festival is the competition for feature films by directors from all continents.

The total prize money that will be awarded at this festival comes up to approximately $200,000 which is much higher than the amounts raised by some other well-known festivals globally.

All entries for the competition in the foreign section would have to be feature films in 35 mm or digital (if originally made in digital format) and subtitled in English and should have been produced between 1 September 2011 and 31 August 2012.

Entries for an out-of-competition section ‘Cinema of the World’ will also be accepted for films produced after 1 January 2011.

Full details about the festival, entry forms and regulations can be downloaded from the festival’s website: www.iffi.gov.in.

The final date for registration is 31 August 2012.
