Founded in 2009, the Indian Film Festival of Houston (IFFH) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that offers the diverse Houston community opportunities to learn about India's arts, culture, diversity and long history of film-making. The goal of our programming is to educate people about Indian cinema at large. We are proud of Bollywood, but Indian cinema has more to offer. Over the past 16 years, IFFH has screened over 100 films in more than 12 Indian languages, carefully curated from over 800 film submissions.
Several films presented at the Festival have gone on to earn higher recognition on the international film circuit, including the Oscars. IFFH has also presented a retrospective on the birth centenary of Satyajit Ray. Through powerful storytelling, filmmakers drive positive change and contribute to a more empathetic, inclusive, and culturally rich society. IFFH was voted Best Film Festival of Houston-by-Houston Press. The films reflect on current cultural and socio-economic conditions and feature a variety of subjects like education, children, women, aging, physical ability, euthanasia, immigration, environment, animal care, self-identity and more.
IFFH has established itself as an integral part of Houston’s art and entertainment culture, with Houston Press voting IFFH as the ‘Best Film Festival of Houston’. The event features quality film screenings, Q&A sessions with film makers, live cultural entertainment, food and networking opportunities.
