With the filmmakers and regional cinema exposed as the main protagonists, the IGFF is the first International Gujarati film festival of India to take place in USA. With all the attention of movie-goers limited to Bollywood and mainstream cinema, IGFF comes as a breath of fresh air for Gujarati filmmakers and the Gujarati movie industry as it poses to be a festival that celebrates film content without language posing as hurdle. IGFF has one goal, to show that a Gujarati Cinema has the potential of creating scripts and movies which can stand shoulder to shoulder with any other movie industry.
