With 793 entries and 32 participating countries, the Mumbai International Film Festival (MIFF) for documentary, short and animation films, has grown bigger and better. Currently in its 13th year, the festival will be kickstarting today at the National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA).

“Non-feature films are hard to get in India, which limits our exposure to formats like documentary and short films. The festival aims to fill this gap and provide quality non-feature films to filmmakers and students ,” says Nitin Sapre, an official from the Films Division.
