The ICFF’s opening ceremony was held at Jayshree Periwal High School in Chitrakoot on Monday. Film makers Chandra Shekhar, Anil Gajraj and Michael Thau (USA) were present at the ceremony, along with school director Jayshree Periwal, Roj said.

On the opening day, I Am Arbor, Godspeed, Moon Melody, Violet is Blue: A Tale of Gibbons and Guardians, Ain’t No Mystery and Udd Chale were screened at Jayshree Periwal High School.

Film screenings will be done at school auditoriums, the ICFF founder said.
