From filmmaking insights to tributes to legendary icons, this year’s lineup offers an enriching experience for cinephiles and industry professionals alike.

One standout session, “Exhibition of Feature Films in Cinema Theatres: The Question of Accessibility,” aligns with Svayam’s efforts to foster inclusivity at IFFI. By addressing barriers faced by audiences with reduced mobility, the session emphasizes cinema as a universal experience.

Adding to the cultural richness are centenary tributes to legends like Akkineni Nageswara Rao, Raj Kapoor, and Mohammad Rafi, alongside an A.R. Rahman-led memorial talk on musical theatre in India.
