The Haryana International Film Festival (HIFF) is a pioneering cultural initiative dedicated to promoting global cinema while celebrating the unique identity of Haryanvi people and their heritage.
Since its inception, HIFF has been a successful step towards international recognition of Haryanvi culture and cinema. Through this platform, we aim to present a diverse, language-independent selection of films that highlight compelling stories, cross-cultural narratives, and socially relevant themes.
The festival is not just a celebration of cinematic excellence—it is a movement to bridge the gap between cinema and society. Each year, HIFF travels through the cities of Haryana, inspiring audiences and artists alike. The 8th edition will continue this mission with:
A curated selection of international and Indian films in Hindi, English, Haryanvi, and other languages
Workshops, seminars, and panel discussions on the academic and technical aspects of filmmaking.
Opportunities for young and independent filmmakers to showcase their talent.
A Film Bazaar, offering networking and business development opportunities.
Cultural events, film parties, concerts, and gala evenings.
Participation from industry leaders, media personalities, government representatives, and community organizations.
HIFF is more than a festival—it’s a movement to unite people through cinema.
To create a global platform for independent filmmakers and young talent
To foster cross-cultural understanding, global harmony, and peace through cinema
To highlight and exchange ideas on film tourism, art, technology, and culture
To bring world cinema closer to the public as a social and cultural concern
To give young Haryanvi creators a platform to shine on an international stage
HIFF is guided by an advisory board of respected leaders from politics, business, arts, media, and community sectors. Together, we strive to make HIFF a beacon for artistic excellence, cultural exchange, and cinematic innovation.
Come, be a part of the story. Let’s make cinema a common language of peace, progress, and passion.
