Shabana Azmi, Divya Dutta, Swara Bhasker to attend Yellowstone Film Festival in Gurgaon

After a two-year hiatus, the Yellowstone International Film Festival (YIFF) is set to begin in a hybrid format this year. With a star-studded red carpet, the festival will open with the India premiere of the fantasy feature film Fairy Folk starring Rasika Dugal and Mukul Chadha, followed by the screening of Faraz Ansari’s short film Sheer Qorma and a panel discussion with its starcast consisting of Shabana Azmi, Divya Dutta, and Swara Bhasker.
YIFF is curated by Los Angeles-based filmmaker Tushar Tyagi, who has directed several critically acclaimed short films like Saving Chintu.“We at YIFF have had over 1,500 film submissions from around 122 countries across the globe. Our programming team, with an over 6-month screening period, has meticulously handpicked 56 films including features, shorts, animated, and documentaries. The selections are unique in each context, with relevant and touching stories; films that showcase quality storytelling,” says Tyagi. “We are living in extremely uncertain times. Cinema has always played an integral part in churning debates and opinions, our selection of films promises to nudge those thoughts,” he adds.
This year, the festival will showcase 50+ shorts, documentaries, and feature films from several countries including the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Australia, Brazil, Canada, India, Cyprus, Italy, Netherlands, Chile, Spain, Pakistan, Belgium, Turkey, Srilanka, New Zealand, and Sweden. The festival is all set to kick off on September 30 in Gurgaon.
