Continuity goes hand in hand with change in every edition of the International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK). The week-long fete from December 8 to 15 of cinema from across the globe offers an engaging range of movies.“While it is extremely gratifying to see the enthusiasm and interest in the Festival, an equally important aspect is the challenge that comes with it. Each year the Festival is growing in numbers. We therefore have had to confine the number of delegates to 10,000. Within four hours of the opening of the online registration, the allocated numbers for the general public were full. So was the case in the other categories,” adds Kamal.
