As the curtains fall on the 56th International Film Festival of India, we celebrate not just films, but the stories, the dreams and the magic that brought us all together. From red carpets to standing ovations, from laughter to learning, every moment became a memory we’ll carry forward. Here’s to the creators, the visionaries, the dreamers, and every soul who made this festival truly unforgettable. Until we meet again, the spirit of cinema will keep shining brighter than ever. This festival wasn’t just an event - it was a journey of the hearts of cinema coming together. And with every frame we witnessed, we rediscovered why cinema will always unite us.

A film that dissolves the distance between life and cinema. Through monochrome frames and unguarded intimacy, Bárbara Paz documents the final chapter of her husband, filmmaker Hector Babenco, not as a farewell, but as a meditation on what remains.
Honoured with the Golden Conch at the Mumbai International Film Festival 2020, the film stands as a reminder that cinema can hold memory without trying to fix it. Some stories don’t conclude. They simply stay with you.
