1. 1. Since the era of silent movie, to till date, almost 125 years of proud journey by International as well as Indian Cinema there are following 11 nos. International Festivals are being organised throughout the World for the Films specially dedicated to sports in genre.

   Researchers say in India, Bengali is the language in which the first ever full-fledged Sports movie, “DhonniMeye” was being released as a comedy film. Even the city, Kolkata is also a proud host for an International Film Festival for last 28 years. But our beloved country, India, though has got a golden 53 years history of organising International Film Festival of India annually in Goa, but alas, till date the country doesn’t have any annual International Film Festival especially dedicated to Sports, but the Indians are believed to be a sports fanatic countryman.

So, to start with, the Trust SSF strongly believes the City of Joy really needs a dedicated International Sports Film Festival of India too to celebrate the genre Sports in Indian Movies and to promote allied business to an International Film festival to make the Indians feel proud and fanatic for sports & movies both at a time.

To start with, this year, the organising committee has decided to host the festival only with screening of 12 pre specified already worldwide released Movies which will be screened during the 4 days long festival between 22nd to 25th June 2023 at NANDAN - III renowned Auditorium in the City of Joy, Kolkata in complete NON-COMMERCIAL format in Technical collaboration with Federation of Film Societies of India (Eastern Region).
