Toulouse Indian Film Festival

The Festival des cinémas indiens de Toulouse/Toulouse Indian Film Festival is a film festival held annually in Toulouse, France since 2013. As its name indicates it is dedicated to introducing the public to Indian cinema.[1]

History

The idea was floated in 2012 by a group of non-profit organisations and the first edition was held in early 2013 under the name ‘Indian Season’. It was rechristened to its present name in 2015.[2][3][4][5][6]

The first edition of the Festival was held in 2013. An Audience Choice Award was instituted in the fourth edition, in 2016. A jury award was added for the sixth edition, in 2018.[7] Starting from the seven edition, in 2019, the critics choice award would be set up the Film Critics Circle of India.

The festival was founded by Frédérique Lien Vanessa Bianchi.
