The sixth edition of the International Kids Film Festival (IKFF) has been taking place in Bengaluru since November 14 and has attracted thousands of students from all over the country. This event has been organised in association with the Army Wives Welfare Association and a total of 75 award-winning films from 20 countries and 15 languages are being screened at the festival.
According to the organisers, over 26,000 schools are participating in the two-week long festival. Two films, Spirit of the Forest from India and Abby from the USA was screened on the inaugural day,
Syed Sultan Ahmen, the founder of IKFF, who also works with Film Pedagogy as his medium of education, said that at this point in time, film is the most impactful method. “A well-made film can communicate as much as a full-fledged book. A film brings storytelling, audio-visual, emotion and entertainment.”
