Country in focus

France is the country of focus in the festival with eight films of the country included in 'country of focus' section.[4]

On the occasion of the 75th Anniversary of Indian Independence, India was named the 'Country of Honour' at the Marche du Cinema of the Cannes Film Festival this year. This first-ever honour, conferred on India, symbolises the significant role that cinema plays in the cultural relationship between the two countries. To reciprocate, the International Film Festival of India (IFFI Goa) will feature France in the 'Country Focus' segment.[7]
