17th International Guwahati Film Festival

Gauhati Cine Club, one of the most respected and pioneering socio-cultural voluntary organizations in Northeast India, was established in 1965 by the legendary cultural icon Dr. Bhupen Hazarika along with a group of film lovers, artists, writers, and critics. The club has played an instrumental role in promoting cinema as an art form and has been a platform for cultural exchange and film appreciation. Over the years, the Club has organized numerous film screenings, discussions, and festivals with the aim of bringing world cinema to the audience in Assam and Northeast India. This year Gauhati Cine Club is organizing the 17th International Guwahati Film Festival 2024 to showcase and celebrate a mix of films from across the world, celebrating the diversity, creativity, and power of cinema. This year’s festival will run from 10th to 16th December, offering film enthusiasts the chance to experience a curated selection of international  feature films.

The event, previously known as World Cinema, has been held annually since its inception. In 2007, the festival was renamed the International Guwahati Film Festival, cementing its place as a key cultural event in the city. The festival not only provides a platform for global cinema but also promotes cultural awareness, encouraging meaningful conversations around art, society, and the world around us.
