IFFK
“Cinema is truth 24 frames per second”: Jean-Luc Godard
IFFK is Kerala’s own international film festival. IFFK stands for International Film Festival of Kerala. It is conducted by Kerala Chalachithra Academy during the second week of every December (from December 8 to 15, this year). Apart from the borderless creativity on the screen, what is seen off it is also enchanting. The audience in itself is a curious mix of many breeds: of celebrity film stars and star directors and the bohemian art film folks (long beard and long hair is what art does to them), of failed film makers and wannabe directors, of film students and people who think they know all about films, and of people who seek uncensored porn on the screen and journalists who seek that off the screen. Whichever way one looks at it, the IFFK has become an annual pilgrimage of the cinephiles. Come December, the so-called lovers of good cinema pack their bags and head off to Trivandrum for taking a holy dip in a mind-boggling pool of aesthetically strange films.
