      International Documentary Film Festival
            Since 1990, Films Division organises the biennial Mumbai International Film Festival for
      Documentary, Short and Animation Films (MIFF). It provides a unique opportunity for film
      makers, producers, distributors, exhibitors and film critics to meet and exchange ideas and
      concepts.
      National Museum of Indian Cinema
            The concept of National Museum of Indian Cinema (NMIC) is a unique idea to be pursued
      for the first time in the history of Indian Cinema. In the last 100 years of Indian Cinema, lot of
      historical material suitable for the film museum has been destroyed, damaged or not taken care
      of properly due to lack of restoration and preservation facilities of this kind. The Film Museum
      will not only provide a store house of information to the laymen but it will also help film makers,
      film students, enthusiasts and critics to know the development of cinema as a medium of artistic
      expression not only in the country but in all parts of the world, as there is no Film Museum in
      India.
      FD Zone
            FD Zone is a collaborative effort of Films Division with independent film makers to
      organize regular curated screenings of documentaries, short films and animation films and avant-
      garde and meaningful cinema. For every screening, an independent film maker curates on
      voluntary basis a mixture of films of Films Division and independent film makers. The Director,
      cinematographer or editor, sound recordist and other main members of the crew of the
      independent films screened in the event are invited for interaction with the audience. The
      screenings are free and open to all.
