Unmute and Rock to the FIIG Film Festival

Hey you, current or former Fulbrighters who’ve made a film about South or Central Asia in the past 5 years: the Fulbright India Interest Group (FIIG), sponsored by the Fulbright Association, has launched another annual film festival just for you after last year’s tremendous success with our inaugural fest. Your Fulbright research/teaching award doesn’t have to have been in Central or South Asia for you to submit your film.

Registration is FREE. The festival will be online, also FREE, and open to the worldwide general public for max exposure of your work.

Deadline January 30, 2026.
