Then began the screening of films from different parts of the country and the world. Audiences were treated to exclusive short films from India, Spain, Mexico, and Tunisia. This year WIIFF is focusing on women-oriented movies to spread awareness about significant challenges pertaining to gender equality in the Indian society and the world at large.

While audiences went gaga over almost every film, the show stealers were “Laddu : A Sweet Memory” directed by Ommkaram Shashidhar, “He dies in the end” by Pranav Bhasin and “Veil Done” by Juhi Bhatt. The first day of the festival was wrapped up at a lighter note with a Stand up comedy performance. The festival also witnessed an overwhelming presence of esteemed media members from different organizations.
