Panaji, Goa, India / founded in 1952
Taking place in November
For the third time in a row, this November festival is taking place in the well-known state of Goa. Although the show itself has an impressive history, it only became an annual competitive event in the 21st century. It is logical that the festival has not yet had time to gain the necessary weight, and the competition mostly includes projects from friendly and little-known cinemas (Iran, Bangladesh, etc.), which can expect to win awards (including money) for best film, best directing and best male and female roles, as well as the special prize from the jury.
