Curated by Monica Wahi, ICFFI will showcase 200 films, including the CFSI’s two most recent productions, Goopi Gawaiiya, Bagha Bajaiiya and Kaphal. The competitive categories include one for animation and another for short films, but there won’t be a separate competition section for Indian films this time.
“In 2010, there was a spurt in children’s content, so for the 2011 edition, we had a lot of entries,” Kumar said. “But since there hasn’t been good content for the past two years, we don’t have a separate section for Indian films.”
