The third Guwahati International Film Festival (GIFF), 2019 got underway on Thursday with the screening of Iranian film Charcoal. Polish filmmaker Krzysztof Zanussi was the chief guest in the opening of the festival that’s going to screen around 100 films from 65 countries.

While the country of focus in this GIFF edition is Iran, the region of focus is the Latin American and Caribbean Group or Grulac countries. Talking to The Sentinel, Jyoti Chitraban chairperson Pabitra Margherita said, “So far over 6,000 film lovers from India and abroad have registered as delegates. The footfall in this edition of the GIFF has surpassed all previous records. We’re compelled to close the registration of delegates on Friday as the number is going to be more than our capacity to host. The motto this year is – Vasudhaiva Kutumbhakam’ (the world is one family).”
