Why become a member?

AILIFFA isn't just a festival—it's a year-round experience, with monthly screenings, networking opportunities, and educational programs that nurture emerging filmmakers. By becoming a member, you help bring diverse, global, and local stories to the big screen, ensuring that independent voices and India's rich storytelling traditions continue to thrive. Be part of something bigger—join AILIFFA today!

As is the case with most arts + culture-focused film festivals around the world, less than a quarter of AILIFFA's revenue is generated from ticket sales. Our priority is to keep prices accessible for our audiences. We rely on memberships, sponsorships, grants, and generous donations. By joining AILIFFA's membership, you gain access to exclusive AILIFFA events and screenings throughout the year, and also provide vital support that enables AILIFFA to serve India's creative community year-round.

All memberships are valid for 1 year. Members must renew every year by paying a renewal fee of ₹999. If membership is not renewed, the membership will be cancelled, and the applicant must apply for a new membership again. Lifetime Membership does not require renewal.
