The International Children’s Film Festival India (ICFFI) is a biennial festival that strives to bring the most delightful and imaginative national and international children’s cinema to young audiences in India. Outstanding features, shorts, live action and animation films are screened over seven days of festive celebrations, attended by more than one hundred thousand children and hundreds of film professionals from across the world.

In order to felicitate young talents, this time ICFFI has started a new section for Children Directors and is now inviting entries for the same in the 2011 edition of the 17th International Children’s Film Festival India. Introduced as “Competition Little Directors” section, this section will showcase films made by children (age 6 to 16) who are residents and citizens of India. The last date for submitting entries is July 15, 2011. The biennial festival will be held from November 14- 20, 2011.
