Complimentary Film Appreciation Course for Media Delegates at IFFI 2024
The 55th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) is set to launch in Panaji, Goa, from November 20-28, 2024, and with it, a host of unique opportunities for registered media delegates. Registration, which opened on October 18, invites media professionals—reporters, photographers, digital creators, and freelancers over 21 years old—to immerse themselves in the world of cinema as storytellers who bring IFFI to audiences worldwide.
This year, IFFI partners with the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) to offer a special perk for the first few media delegates: a complimentary Film Appreciation Certificate Course. The one-day course, scheduled for November 18, will be available to select media delegates on a first-come-first-served basis and is designed to enhance participants’ understanding of film-making. This collaboration aims to deepen media delegates’ perspectives on cinematic techniques and storytelling nuances, enriching their festival coverage.
IFFI, established in 1952, remains one of Asia’s most prestigious film festivals, celebrating the art of cinema and bridging cultural divides. Organized by India’s Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, in collaboration with the Government of Goa’s Entertainment Society, IFFI offers a platform where filmmakers, critics, and fans gather to appreciate global cinema. This year, the festival is managed by the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC), following the merger with the Directorate of Film Festivals.
How to Register:
Eligible media delegates must complete their application by November 12, 2024, at 11:59 PM IST. The accreditation process is managed by the Press Information Bureau (PIB), and selected candidates will receive their passes starting November 18.
For those looking to participate in the Film Appreciation Course, early registration is crucial. For more details and to register, visit IFFI’s official site.
