AIFF is the pioneer in Gujarat to provide platform for filmmakers, musician, animation maker, editor, ad film maker, DOP, script writer, art director etc. to promote their work in the group of experts.

We are expecting great participation with enthusiasm from filmmakers and other industry professionals from India and abroad. The main agenda of AIFF is to provide platform for talent irrespective of newbie or experienced filmmakers.
