Powered by the Bitiya Foundation and the Punit Balan Group, we aim to create an inclusive space where artists, visionaries, and changemakers can amplify their voices. Our mission is to harness the power of cinema to educate, inspire, and mobilize communities toward meaningful action.
Our festival provides a stage for filmmakers to showcase their perspectives on crucial social issues, inspiring change and sparking conversations that matter.
We strongly believe in empowering women by advocating for gender equality, safety, and opportunities in every sphere of life. Through this festival, we encourage films that highlight women’s challenges, triumphs, and aspirations—stories that inspire a more equitable society.
The future lies in the hands of the younger generation. We strive to provide them with platforms that not only recognize their talent but also nurture their potential. By encouraging young filmmakers to share their stories, we foster confidence, creativity, and a sense of responsibility toward social change.
Every voice deserves to be heard, and every vision deserves a chance to shine. Our festival serves as a launchpad for emerging filmmakers, giving them a global platform to showcase their work, connect with industry professionals, and gain recognition for their dedication to social awareness.
True change comes from collective effort. We are committed to bringing together artists, activists, and audiences to engage in meaningful dialogue. By supporting independent filmmakers who shed light on pressing social issues, we aim to build a community that is informed, compassionate, and driven to make a difference.
