The 18th edition of the Mumbai International Film Festival (MIFF) is scheduled to take place from June 15 to June 21.

The poster for the upcoming edition was unveiled on Thursday.

Organised by the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, the Mumbai International Film Festival for Documentary, Short Fiction, and Animation, popularly known as MIFF, began in 1990 as BIFF. It was later re-christened as MIFF after Bombay was renamed Mumbai.

The Organizing Committee of MIFF, headed by the I&B secretary, comprises eminent film personalities, documentary makers, and senior media officials.

“MIFF provides a platform for documentary filmmakers from all over the world to meet, exchange ideas, explore the possibilities of co-productions and marketing of documentary, short, and animation films, and also broadens the vision of the filmmakers vis-a-vis world cinema,” the MIFF website states.
