Inclusion and diversity are the key elements for the success of the Indian Festival, women directors like Deepa Mehta's gangster drama “Beeba Boys” is among the festival favorites.

We only hope for the future that the IFFLA will continue growing by adding more shows in order to don’t overlap such a good films at once
by programming a second screening at different date and time.
