[rohitrellan at aol.in]

International Children’s Film Festival India (ICFFI) also popularly 
known as The Golden Elephant is a biennial festival that strives to 
bring the most delightful and imaginative national and international 
children’s cinema to young audiences in India. Outstanding features, 
shorts, live action and animation films are screened over seven days of 
festive celebrations,
attended by more than one hundred thousand children and hundreds of 
film professionals from across the world.

ICFFI is organized by Children’s Film Society India (CFSI) – a national 
government body committed to nurturing a dynamic children’s film 
culture in the country. Since its inception in 1955, CFSI has been 
producing, exhibiting and distributing exclusive, entertaining and 
enriching content for children.

ICFFI is one of the largest and most colourful children’s film 
festivals in the world. A unique feature of the festival is its 
audience: more than a hundred thousand children travel from little 
villages and towns from across India to view high quality international 
children’s cinema that they would never be exposed to otherwise. Here 
they rub shoulders with other kids, eminent guests and directors from 
different parts of the world.

ICFFI is dedicated to these little delegates and to those imaginative 
film-makers who attempt to make films for the toughest audience of all 
– children!

We are happy to announce the 17th edition of ICFFI: 14th to 20th 
November 2011. The festival will have three Competition Sections:

Competition International,

apart from special screenings in Non-Competition Section: Children’s 
World, The Swedish Pitara, Best of CFSI.
