The ‘Mumbai International Children Film Festival’ will feature 200 Films from around 30 countries to facilitate children analyse and judge life on different parameters. Moreover, it will help them watch human aspects with different outlooks. Grace gets ecstatic as she shared her brainwave with us, “This out-of-the-box gift to our children will prove to be a renaissance in education and society upliftment. It will also help provide an equal status even to the underprivileged children of our society who will be involved in various workshops, integrated in the festival.

Furthermore, we aim at bringing the world renowned filmmakers and children face to face, to accelerate the learning process of our kids. Undoubtedly, the MICFF will provide different dimensions to the educational system by showcasing worldwide values and human expressions.” So kids, get ready to discover and share the new side of life with MCIFF.
