The Festival is being organized by the Directorate of Film Festivals (DFF), Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India in collaboration with the State Government of Goa and the Indian Film Industry. The 50th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) will be held at Goa from November 20-28, 2019.
Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar was quoted saying that “Dadasaheb Phalke award winner Amitabh Bachchan’s outstanding contribution to cinema will be honoured and celebrated through a package of his impactful and entertaining films in the 50th edition.” The minister had added Uri: The Surgical Strike, Gully Boy, Super 30, and Badhaai Ho will also be screened.
Interestingly, there will also be the screening of a special movie for visually impaired people. “Since visually impaired people can’t experience the film in full as they can only hear the dialogues, the festival will also have the screening of one film which will have narrations recorded for the gaps. This is a new initiative for visually impaired people so that they can enjoy films to the fullest.”
