From Reel to Real Change – SIFFCY’s Global Celebration of Children & Youth Cinema
- From the makers of “I am Kalam”- SIFFCY– Smile International Film Festival for Children and Youth is a global celebration of cinema that educates, engages and empowers children and youth. SIFFCY has become a powerful stage where cinema goes beyond entertainment to influence young minds. Each year, it brings global cinematic brilliance to half a million children across India. The festival is known for nurturing young audiences, supporting emerging filmmakers, and amplifying socially responsible storytelling through global collaboration.
- Behind it stands Smile Foundation—a two-decade-old development organisation with GuideStar India Platinum status and recognition from the Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs.
