Every frame tells a story, every story holds a memory. This year, the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) invites cinephiles from around the world to express what cinema truly means to them.

The Pai Tiatrist Auditorium in Margao remains closed for essential roof repairs and is expected to reopen by May 30. Despite the ongoing delay due to monsoon rains, the venue will host the Shyam Benegal Film Festival as its first event after reopening. Additionally, significant upgrades to the auditorium’s technical facilities are planned for later this year, in preparation for the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) 2025.
