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. Through SIFFCY, Smile Foundation takes good cinema to children, nurturing empathy, creativity, and leadership with analytical minds and compassionate hearts.
