BIFFes will provide platform for movies made in lesser-known languages of India

The 15th edition of the Bengaluru International Film Festival (BIFFes), from February 29 to March 7, will feature ‘‘Incredible India’‘, a unique platform for movies made in lesser-known languages of India. This edition will showcase eight films in Tulu, Kodava, Banjara, Arebashe, Markodi, Galo, Rabha, Santhali, and Tai Phake.

A film festival is not just about showing films, instead, it is a reflection of the culture, people and what is happening in society, observed Hemanth Nimbalkar, Vice-Chairman of Festival Core Committee and Commissioner, DIPR.

‘’Movies show what is happening in the world today, that is what we want our movies to do. Also, it is about showcasing the newer dimensions of movies and newer thoughts around movie making,’‘ he added while addressing a media conference here on Monday.
