About HISFF 2025
HISFF is conceived by the Dadasaheb Phalke School of Film Studies as a marquee cultural event for Telangana—uniting global cinema and regional storytelling, and giving a strong platform to youth and new voices.
Over three days, the festival features competitive and non‑competitive screenings, special pavilions, and heritage/retrospective programming, along with Q&As, panels and networking. The aim is to position Hyderabad as a global film hub while growing the local ecosystem.
"We bridge cultures, spark conversations, and nurture creativity through the art of film."
