The Bengaluru International Film Festival (BIFFes), which was scheduled to be held in February, will take place from 3 to 10 March.

The organizers shared the new dates in a post on Facebook along with a photograph featuring various dignitaries such as Manjunatha Prasad N, principal secretary, department of information and public relations; Dr PS Harsha, commissioner of department of information and public relations; Sudha Rani, advisory board member BIFFes 2022; and HN Narahari Rao, artistic director.

In addition, BIFFes has been accredited as an international film festival by the International Federation of Film Producers Associations (FIAPF) which is also a regulator of such events. The accreditation will put BIFFes on the international film festival map while allowing its organizers access to a wider range of international films for screening.

As reported by The Hindu newspaper, Karnataka chief minister Basavaraj Bommai, who chaired a meeting of the BIFFes organising committee on Thursday, announced the international accreditation. “I hope this will take the festival to the next level and help build Brand Bengaluru,” he said.

The organizers hope to hold the festival in a physical format.
