Thank you for the lovely in depth article Minal Rudra

On 11 February 2026, W***h was informed that promotional activities relating to the festival were to be paused. As the screenings were one week away, and in the absence of clarity, it was not possible to secure an alternate venue within the required timeframe.

W***h understands that several filmmakers had made travel arrangements and deeply regrets the inconvenience caused.

W***h Film Festival remains committed to building meaningful collaborations across institutions and looks forward to future opportunities in Kolkata. Stay Tuned.

And continue to dream BIG!

See you all next week at AF Theosophy Hall.

Curious how W***H builds inclusive, boundary-pushing lineups? Peek behind the curtain: submissions are screened for originality, representation, and genre innovation, then reviewed by a diverse programming panel. Past festivals show 80%+ selections from underrepresented creators, with spotlight features in Terror Talkies to amplify voices. We can't wait to show you what we have in store for our 6th edition in 2026.

We have a record number of films from India and Asia and we cant wait for you to see them! But You will have to Wait!
