A grand celebration of global culture and tourism through the medium of films, the Culture & Tourism Film Festival showcases films that highlight the beauty and diversity of both. Join us in the Pink City, Jaipur, as we celebrate the rich intersection of different cultures and civilizations through cinema. Films are the carriers of culture, and cinema serves as a powerful medium to reflect and share these narratives. During the festival, not only will we enjoy this cinematic journey, but we will also host the World Culture Summit (WCS) and World Film Tourism Summit (WFTS), bringing together voices from around the world to discuss culture, cinema, and tourism.
