WELCOME TO THE KPFF 2024

The KPFF 2024, a people-supported, independent, and volunteer-led cinema festival, showcases politically committed contemporary documentary and fiction cinema from India and South Asia. It brings together a diverse audience and filmmakers to foster interaction, friendships, and active camaraderie through films and conversations.

In its tenth edition, KPFF 2024 presents 39 compelling stories from India and beyond. The festival also honors five documentaries that have significantly impacted India's independent documentary scene. Featuring eight films from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and two films portraying Palestine and Iran for their present-day relevance, the event explores common threads of migration, migrant worker lives, organizing for dignity and survival, and the resilience, resistance, and solidarity of ordinary people.

Despite facing challenging times with a Fascist regime in India assaulting the working class and religious minorities, leading to censorship in political art, literature, and cinema, KPFF 2024 remains a beacon of counterculture, resistance, re-imaginings, celebration, and togetherness. The festival invites all to join in celebrating the best of times amid the fight against state violence and erasure of history.
