International Film Festival of Colombo
is the first major international film festival to be held in Sri Lanka.
The festival, showcasing films from a variety of countries and varied
cinema disciplines, will take place in Colombo from September 2, 2014-
September 7, 2014. IFFCOLOMBO is a collaboration between the OKINAWA
INTERNATIONAL MOVIE FESTIVAL in Japan and the Film Directors’ Guild of
Sri Lanka. During the festival, Colombo will play host to a number of
renowned personalities in the international world of cinema. The first
of it’s kind, the festival hopes to attract a new culture of filmgoers,
filmmakers and critics from all over the world.
Although our
cinema has been known among independent festival audience around the
world, unfortunately, we could not initiate a significantly effective
international film festival in Sri Lanka. Therefore COLOMBO
INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL’s (COLIFF) goal is to full fill the need for
an international cinema celebration in this island. The Directors Guild
of Sri Lanka is the main body behind COLIFF.
