Bharat International Film Festival aims at providing a common platform to the cinemas across the world to project the excellence of the art of film making and promote new movie makers, exchange of knowledge, information, ideas & culture between India & other nations in context of their social and cultural ethos. It also promotes friendship and co-operation among people of the world through the medium of films & documentaries.

However, Bharat International Film Festival intends to organize a festival that connects the film fans & movie goers with the world, especially the serious filmmakers & their associates so as to bring about greater understanding of the art of film making.

Bharat International Film Festival has one wing of Dosti Cinema.

Dosti Cinema has taken up a responsibility of releasing selective Indian Movies that are participating in BIFF . Dosti Cinema has created a network of around 10 lakhs peoples of social cinema lovers. Dosti Cinema will try to make them your audience for the movie so that your cinema can get real audience for whom you have made this movie. It is supported by more than 100 NGO, Schools and Colleges. Dosti Cinema has Print and Digital Media partners, where they can publicize your movie without any cost.
