The fifth edition marks an exciting new chapter for the festival with the introduction of two major initiatives: a moving-image exhibition featuring expanded cinema and moving image installations by Indian and international artists and filmmakers, and Students' Experimental Cinema, a new programme dedicated to showcasing emerging voices in experimental filmmaking.
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.
Across the four editions, EAEFF has showcased more than 200 films, videos and moving-image works, bringing together artists, filmmakers, scholars, and audiences from across the world.
