The Haryana International Film Festival (HIFF) is not just a festival—it is a celebration of stories, emotions, and voices from every corner of the world. Held in the historic land of Haryana, HIFF brings together filmmakers, cine-lovers, artists, and dreamers to experience the magic of cinema in its purest form.
It is our distinct pleasure to extend a formal invitation to the international community of filmmakers, scholars, artists, cultural practitioners, and cinema professionals to participate in the 8th Edition of the Haryana International Film Festival (HIFF 2026), scheduled to be held during March–April 2026 in Haryana, India.
The Haryana International Film Festival serves not only as a platform for the exhibition of cinematic works but also as a forum for intellectual exchange, cultural dialogue, and creative collaboration. Rooted in the cultural heritage of Haryana, HIFF facilitates meaningful engagement between local traditions and global cinematic practices.
With the continued support and participation of national and international stakeholders, HIFF has established itself as a significant meeting point for academic discourse and cinematic excellence. The forthcoming edition aims to further strengthen this position by presenting a carefully curated programme of feature films, short films, and documentaries representing diverse geographies, perspectives, and artistic approaches.
The five-day programme will include film screenings, academic seminars, workshops, panel discussions, networking sessions, film markets, and curated cultural events. Through these activities, HIFF 2026 seeks to promote cross-cultural understanding, foster professional collaboration, and contribute to the broader discourse on cinema, culture, and society.
We cordially invite you to be part of HIFF 2026 and to contribute to this international exchange of ideas, creativity, and cultural expression.
