100 seats. 13 crafts. One shot at IFFI.
Creative Minds of Tomorrow returns for its sixth edition at the 57th International Film Festival of India - a talent camp built for the next generation of Indian cinema. This year, the program opens up across 13 disciplines: direction, scriptwriting, editing and subtitling, cinematography, animation and VFX, AR/VR, music composition, playback singing, sound recording, acting, art direction, voice-over and dubbing, hair and makeup, and costume design. Everything that holds a film together, in front of the camera and far behind it.
Selected candidates get curated masterclasses with industry veterans, a 48-hour filmmaking challenge to write, shoot and cut something real under pressure, and a Talent Camp built to put them in the same room as the people already making Indian cinema what it is.
A hundred seats. Thirteen ways in. One festival where it all comes together.
📍 57th IFFI, Goa | 18–26 November 2026
