ViBGYOR International Film Festival is an alternative film movement
built around the annual film festival and associated activities
throughout the year. 'Celebrating identities and diversity' being its
central theme, ViBGYOR explores the broad spectrum of the politics
of identities through the creative medium of cinema, expressing
solidarity with the struggles led by various individuals and peoples'
movements
for basic rights and a sustainable model of development.
Now in its 8th year, ViBGYOR Festival has grown into much more than a film festival. It is a celebration of the human spirit in its diverse expressions, a meeting place for filmmakers, activists, scholars, students, film-lovers, and common people from all walks of life. The 7-day Festival showcases around 100 documentaries, short fiction films, music videos, experimental films, spots, and animations from around the world and across India, in addition to hosting Face to Face with Filmmakers, C. Saratchandran Memorial Lecture, Mini Conferences, Campaigns, Workshops, Song of Resistance, Cultural Night, Media Exhibitions and Farm & Food Fair. We also support film production and training through media workshops and film fellowships.
From its beginning in 2006, ViBGYOR has taken a different path, by taking films and filmmakers to places where ordinary people live, to people who do not have a camera or a canvas to bring their stories to light. The series of Mini festivals organized as Outreach Programmes--the Village ViBGYOR conducted in panchayats and the Campus ViBGYOR in educational institutions --culminate in the Annual Festival in Thrissur town. The resonances of the annual festival are then effectively carried forward throughout the year with a series of ViBGYOR Touring Festivals, taken around the country.
ViBGYOR Film Festival and associated activities are coordinated by ViBGYOR Film Collective, a charitable society registered (Reg. No: R-192/07) under Travancore-Cochin Societies Registration Act 1955. ViBGYOR Film Collective is conceived as an open coalition of various networks and groups, representing Indigenous People, Dalits, Youth, South Asian Relations, Human Rights, Environment and Development, Women's Issues, Globalisation, Labour, Culture and Media etc. at national and South Asian level.
The vigour of ViBGYOR is sustained by groups of volunteers, young and old, who wish to think differently and proactively. Our efforts are supported by film societies, film clubs in colleges and schools and on a formal level by Thrissur Municipal Corporation, Zilla Panchayath, Information & Public Relations Department, Federation of Film Societies of India-Kerala Region, Department of Youth Welfare and other concerned organizations and movements across South Asia.
