Welcome to AIFF 2026: The Future of Frames

Welcome to the 2026 Ahmedabad International Film Festival (AIFF). As our storied UNESCO World Heritage city continues to evolve, so does our celebration of the moving image. This year, we bridge the gap between Ahmedabad’s timeless architectural soul and the cutting-edge frontiers of global cinema.

AIFF 2026 isn't just a festival; it’s a crossroads where Gujarat’s cinematic legacy meets the next generation of digital storytellers.

Om Guru Films: Empowering the New Wave

At Om Guru Films, we don't just produce movies; we engineer experiences. In 2026, our mission remains focused on the "New Wave"—empowering a diverse cohort of young creators who aren't afraid to use new technologies to tell ancient truths.

Our 2026 slate is defined by:

Hyper-Local, Ultra-Global: Taking the flavours of Gujarat to a borderless digital audience.
Tech-Driven Artistry: Utilizing the latest in cinematic tech to enhance human emotion, not replace it.
Impact Cinema: Creating films that serve as a catalyst for social change and global dialogue. Join us as we push the boundaries of what a story can be. Innovate. Inspire. Impact.
