Emami Art Experimental Film Festival (EAEFF) is a platform dedicated to curating and building discourse around alternative and experimental films, videos, and artists’ moving-image practices. Through extensive year-long programming, EAEFF features innovative practices and critical interventions through screenings, workshops, masterclasses, and conversations.
