Panaji, Nov 20 (UNI) The International Film Festival of India (IFFI) has been a part of Goa’s cultural fabric since inception and every year it has been the organizing authority’s aim to involve and encourage local artists, not just from the film fraternity but beyond. In line with the objective, this year, the festival has invited the students of the Goa College of Art to conceptualize and curate unique art installations to be set up at the ‘IFFI Mile’, a festival stretch that will run along the Mandovi River promenade in the capital city.
The IFFI Mile is a result of the hard work of the entire faculty and 200 college students. The installations will be inaugurated along with the opening of IFFI 2019.
Mahesh Vengurlekar, Principal of Goa College of Arts said, “We are glad to have received an invitation from the Entertainment Society of Goa for setting up the IFFI Mile. It is a great opportunity for students to move beyond the classroom, and participate in the festivities around the 50th year of IFFI. It is a meaningful field exposure and an effective medium to share our student’s creation with delegates and the public at large."
