About the Festival

The theme of 2021’s festival is “An Inclusive Journey Towards Happiness”, which shifts the focus of the discussions to vulnerable and marginalized groups. 

We explore the issues faced by these groups through six international films, each paired with a local short film and followed by a dialogue with community leaders working on the ground. 

The pandemic has drastically impacted many of these groups, both economically and mentally. The dialogues will focus on how we as a society can support these groups, and also to understand what happiness means in other perspectives.
