Continuing with the incredible legacy, IFFI-2015 provides an excellent opportunity for filmmakers and film lovers to watch, appreciate and learn the art of film making in sylvan surroundings and a relaxed creative environment. It also provides a great platform for networking with some of the best industry professionals from India and abroad.

46th International Film Festival of India, Goa (20th– 30th November, 2015)
India is a country where more than 1000 films are produced every year in several languages, with its diverse, rich heritage and an old tradition of filmmaking. Indian Cinema is screened in around 100 countries and produces by far the largest number of films in the world. It also has the third largest television market after USA and China. Filmmakers like S a t y a j i t Ra y, Ra j Ka p o o r, A d o o r Gopalakrishnan, Shyam Benegal, Shekhar Kapur, Anurag Kashyap and several others have already put India firmly on the international stage for creative and commercial cinema. Add to that the huge and rapidly expanding Indian market powered by a booming economy and you have a perfect recipe for a robust cinema destination. The fact that the Government of India has allowed up to 100% Foreign Direct Investment in cinema is a further bonus for corporations wishing to participate in the Indian film industry and market. India's first film "Raja Harishchandra" was screened at Coronation Cinema in Mumbai on May 3, 1913.

46th International Film Festival of India, Goa (20th– 30th November, 2015) Immaculate Conception Church - Goa, India
Goa is universally known for its beaches and Indo-European architecture with a unique heritage of churches. What is perhaps lesser known is its rich cultural diversity and flora and fauna. Goa is synonymous with surf, sand and the Indian sun. It is this combination that has made Goa a major international tourist destination and film shooting location.
