Quotes
Ritam Bhatnagar
Founder of IFP.
“This is my second time at IFP and what I find the most beautiful about them is the spirit of creation it nurtures. It brings together young minds, fresh ideas and so many different artistic voices on one platform, and that in itself is very heartening to see.”

“When we started IFP 16 years ago, it was never with the thought of building a festival of this scale. It began with a simple belief that there were incredibly talented people everywhere who just needed a reason, a deadline and a platform to create.”
