#PuducherryTourism has announced the inaugural edition of an independent film extravaganza, #PondicherryInternationalFilmFestival (PIFF), which will showcase over 100 films from more than 25 countries.
The tourism board has come together with Pickurflick, a streaming platform for curated independent cinema. The inaugural edition of PIFF will be held from September 26 to 30.
France is the partner country for the festival and there will be a special focus on French cinema, art and culture. Actor Adil Hussain is closely associated with Pickurflick as a mentor and brand ambassador.
"Pondicherry brings light into my heart. I had been in Pondicherry since 1995. It played one of the most important roles for me to help grow as a person and an actor. I'm so very delighted that the first Pondicherry International Film Festival is taking place there," Adil said in a statement.
