3-day Asian Women’s Film Festival begins in Delhi from today

The 21st edition of the Asian Women’s Film Festival (AWFF) 2026 will begin in New Delhi on Friday and celebrate women’s voices, stories, and perspectives from across Asia. Organised by the International Association of Women in Radio and Television (IAWRT), the three-day festival will be held at the India International Centre (IIC).

This year’s edition, curated by festival director Bina Paul, will feature around 75 films across documentary, fiction, animation, and experimental formats, along with discussions, masterclasses, and curated sessions. “This year’s programme reflects the extraordinary diversity of women’s storytelling – from deeply personal narratives to films that engage with larger social and political realities. What makes the festival special is not just the films themselves but the conversations and connections that emerge around them,” Ms. Paul said.
