Introduction

The Kolkata Film Festival which was started in the year 1995, aims at bringing good world cinema to Kolkata and also taking it to the common mass. The festival commits to be all-inclusive and interactive.

Earlier, the Kolkata International Film Festival, though prestigious, was a comparatively small affair and hence it couldn't reach a large audience. Since 2011, our Honorable Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has taken it to whole new level in terms of publicity and reach. This Film Festival grew into a larger and more inclusive celebration of cinema, a festival which is not just grand in scale, but also accessible to the common mass.

From 2014, the Kolkata International Film Festival has become a competitive festival. The festival also acknowledges the films made by women directors, from all across the globe and have therefore dedicated a separate competitive category to their films.

The cash award for the Best Film is the single largest cash award at any International film festival till date.
