The seventh edition of the festival commenced in Delhi and traveled through various cities including Kanpur, Lucknow, Allahabad, Varanasi, Agra, Meerut, Dehradun, Hisar, Ludhiana, Patna, Ranchi, Jamshedpur, Raipur, Indore and Bhopal, culminating in Mumbai. The eighth edition of the festival includes competitive film sections, such as Jagran Shorts (for international short films), World Panorama (for international feature films), the Indian Showcase (for Indian feature films), and Cinema of the Sellers (for advertising and public service advertising films), offering prize money to participants.
