The Kolkata International Film Festival (KIFF) is 25 years young this year. Its journey has been in step with the forward march of the film industry, growing in volume and adding quality to it every passing year.
Being the oldest international film festival of the country, KIFF has grown from being a solemn event of cinema intellectuals to annual mega celebrations of the masses.
Keeping pace with the size of the silver screen, the demand and splendor of the KIFF has also increased manifold with lakhs and lakhs of cinephiles adding to the footfall at different venues of the event every year.
The 25 years journey of KIFF is marked with countless milestones. The most significant was the recognition of the film festival by the International Federation of Film Producers’ Associations, Paris (FIAPF), the international authority for film festivals. The event which was earlier confined to the realms of selected intellectuals, however, witnessed a paradigm shift after 2011, becoming the annual gala celebration of the masses.
 
So,The festival that was started with films from 40 countries this year is seeing films from 76 countries-almost double in number. With the burgeoning demand, the number of venues has increased from eight in 1995 to 17 this year. In the first year, 16mm films were one of the attractions, while 35mm celluloid films are major highlights of the Silver Jubilee Year I mean in this year.
The one commonality between the first and the 25 year is the special focus cinema. German cinema, with a broader spectrum of films this year, is the only common subject in the first and the 25th years of KIFF.
