Famous Festivals in Pune

Pune International Film Festival

Pune today boasts of being one of the major IT destinations of India, an automobile hub, as well as the mecca for education in the country, with its tumultuous schools, colleges and universities, winning it the sobriquet, the Oxford of the East. With the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) the premier film school of the country, as well as the National Film Archive of India (NFAI) being a part of the city, makes Pune a celluloid lover’s paradise. Both a stone’s throw away from each other hold an important role in the cinematic journey of the country, one with its ability to churn out the industry’s most talented filmmakers, actors and technicians and the other a museum of sorts, housing rare and critical artifacts tracing the history and birth of cinema in India
