More Than Just A Festival!
Art, in all forms, inspires us. From the first drawings of prehistoric man to Artificial Intelligence driven illustrations, the journey of art has been one of curiosity, progress, and redemption. The form of cinema is the most impactful of them all. It is only this art form that has the power to blend time with space. The real and the images correspond to one another in films. It is only in cinema that we can reflect, introspect and often modify our realities as well as our history. It is a medium to look into our past and our future.
The transnationality of films often translates one civilization to another. Cinema is a calling card for the universal values of humanity.
We are here to celebrate this power of films: the power to unite, the power to transform and transcend. We are at the Chennai World Cinema Festival!

Throughout the history of cinema, people from all over the world have turned to this art form to escape their reality and become part of a story external to themselves. Movies speak to all individuals, regardless of their qualities, flaws, similarities, or differences. Cinema has the power and task of telling stories that transcend and have a profound impact on viewers. It is a great responsibility, one that has been revolutionized more than once over the past century by visionary filmmakers who dared to go beyond and changed the film world forever, becoming pioneers and agents of change. In the same century, humanity has witnessed countless events that have caused a rupture in the social framework of what is known, and it is in these moments that influential individuals emerge, marking a before and after. The seventh art, cinema, has been responsible for capturing these stories on the big screen, ensuring that they reach more people. This is how inspiration is born, how transcendence is achieved, and how new Change Makers are discovered.
