The MAMI Mumbai Film Festival 2024 took place between 19 and 24 October 2024 in Mumbai, India.[1] It was the first edition of the festival under interim festival director Shivendra Singh Dungarpur, following the departure of Anupama Chopra from the festival director position. It was also the first edition of the festival since 2014 to not have a title sponsor.[2]
As with the 2023 edition of the festival, the main competition of the festival was limited to filmmakers from South Asia (except Pakistan) and the South Asian diaspora.[3] Netherlands-based film director, lecturer, and film programmer Rada Šešić was named the Head of Jury for this South Asia Competition.[4]
Over 110 films from over 45 countries were screened during this edition of the festival, for which PVR INOX and Regal Cinema continued to serve as screening venue partners.[1]
The animation film Rhythm of a Flower by Amit Dutta won the Golden Gateway Award at the festival, while the documentary Nocturnes by Anirban Dutta and Anupama Srinivasan won the Silver Gateway Award.[5]
