19th  IFFT 2024

                                            19th INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL OF THRISSUR (IFFT), 2024                                    

                                 Undoubtedly, these are incredibly challenging times. The majority of problems stem from                                                     polarisation and misconceptions across various cultures about diverse ways of life, love, work,                                           and ideologies. Film festivals, in essence, serve as a counter force to societal polarization,                                                     fostering social interaction, sharing, and presenting a more authentic portrayal of global life.                                               Admittedly, these festivals possess the power to uphold and strengthen our freedom,                                                             democracy, and peace.

​

The International Film Festival of Thrissur (IFFT), established in 2004, has evolved into one of the state's largest and most distinguished festivals of its kind. The 19th edition of the festival (IFFT-2024), scheduled for March 22-27 is organized by the Thrissur Janasamskara Chalachitra Kendram, Thrissur Corporation, Kerala Chalachitra Academy, FFSI Keralam & Thrissur Jilla Panchayath. Featuring over 75 visually and culturally captivating films and documentaries, the festival will illuminate diverse cultures, vibrant lifestyles, and astounding cinematic brilliance. In addition to these screenings, ten nearby locations will host satellite film festivals, which will enhance the liveliness of the event. 

In the six months leading up to the launch of the 19th edition of IFFT, we successfully hosted the International Children's Film Festival (ICFF-2023) and the International Folklore Film Festival (IFFF-2024). We are optimistic that IFFT-2024 will serve as a platform for the exploration of diverse cultural narratives and the convergence of cinematic talent. Let us come together to celebrate it.
 

 All are cordially invited to this INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL THRISSUR from 2024 March 22 - 27
