Cinetaria Foundation is a film-based NGO that uses the power of cinema to drive social change, raise awareness, and empower communities. We are dedicated to supporting "films for a cause" while leading the fight against film piracy.
The Cinetaria Foundation established the Cinetaria International Film Festival (CIFF) to celebrate the "Creative Lion Hearts"—those dedicated filmmakers who live and breathe the art of cinema. We invite creators to submit their work under impactful themes such as "Cinema Beyond the Border," "National Panorama," and "Movie for Purpose". Our platform is open to a wide array of formats, including feature films, short films, documentaries, animations, advertisements, and music videos.
The Cinetaria Foundation is hosting the 2026 edition of its film festival from November 05 to December 04, 2026, in Hyderabad, Telangana. This year, we are on a mission to make history by setting a Guinness World Record for the Longest Film Festival in the world.
