The ’IFFK Experienzia’ exhibition to mark the three decade-long journey of the 30th International Film Festival of Kerala began here on Sunday.
The exhibition was officially inaugurated at the Tagore Theatre on the third day by prominent African director Abderrahmane Sissako, winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award at the IFFK this year.
Showcasing a culture that grew through cinema, Experienzia displays previous IFFK kits, delegate ID cards, and many frames filled with films from past years, encompassing world-renowned titles and retrospectives of legendary directors.
Posters of classics, including Battleship Potemkin, City Lights, Rashomon, Electra My Love, and Kanchana Seetha, shed light on the festival’s past. The main attraction of the exhibition is the single-frame portraits of figures like Godard, Francesco Rosi, Youssef Chahine, Mrinal Sen, Saeed Mirza, MT., P.N. Menon, and Sarada.
