The 16th annual Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles (IFFLA) will take place from April 11-15, 2018 at Regal L.A. LIVE in downtown Los Angeles, the festival’s second year at this new, state-of-the-art location. Zee Cinema will return for the fourth year as IFFLA’s presenting sponsor.

The Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles is excited to announce that submissions for the 2018 festival are officially open. Features, documentaries and shorts, including animation films, are accepted. The call for entries will close on Wednesday, January 10th, with an early bird deadline on Monday, November 27th. Films compete for Jury and Audience Choice Awards for Best Feature Film and Best Short Film.

The five-day fest will once again bridge the gap between the two largest entertainment industries in the world – Hollywood and India. The festival will showcase more than 30 films from or about India, and host the highly anticipated opening and closing red carpet galas and the awards ceremony. The full line-up of films will be announced in March.
