The Festival takes place across London from 19th March to 28th March and features a string of exciting and acclaimed independent feature films, masterclasses, special screenings, debates and the Festival’s celebrated short films competition.

This year’s Festival highlights include critically acclaimed films such as ‘Margarita With A Straw’, ‘Bhopal – A Prayer for Rain’, ‘Dukhtar’, ‘Rang Rasiya’ and ‘The World Before Her’.
