Toulouse Indian Film Festival

The Festival des cinémas indiens de Toulouse/Toulouse Indian Film Festival is a film festival held annually in Toulouse, France since 2013. As its name indicates it is dedicated to introducing the public to Indian cinema.

History
The idea was floated in 2012 by a group of non-profit organisations and the first edition was held in early 2013 under the name ‘Indian Season’. It was rechristened to its present name in 2015.

The first edition of the Festival was held in 2013. An Audience Choice Award was instituted in the fourth edition, in 2016. A jury award was added for the sixth edition, in 2018. Starting from the seventh edition, in 2019, the critics choice award would be set up the Film Critics Circle of India.
