MESSAGE<br />
I take this opportunity to welcome all film enthusiasts to the 48th International Film Festival of India,<br />
<strong>2017</strong>.<br />
The 9 day long Festival provides the largest platform in the country for filmmakers, technicians,<br />
students and film enthusiasts to showcase their talent and to exchange ideas of film making in context<br />
of different cultures.<br />
Every year we try to programme the best of cinema from across the country and the world. These<br />
include many insightful films that address issues of social and cultural concern and helps in developing<br />
understanding and empathy among societies and nations.<br />
The films screened during the festival enable conversations and debate and they also challenge and<br />
encourage us to image new possibilities in our engagement with the world around us.<br />
I am delighted to extend my warm greetings to all the participants and organisers of the Festival.<br />
(Col Rajyavardhan Rathore)
