FeIFF
about us
To amplify authentic Tamil voices in North America through the transformative power of cinema—preserving memory, inspiring new stories, and honoring a legacy that transcends borders and generations.
FeIFF exists to:
- Celebrate the artistic courage of Tamil filmmakers in the U.S. and Canada, regardless of production scale or budget.
- Provide a platform for Tamil stories—past, present, and emerging—that reflect cultural identity, lived experience, and creative resilience.
- Preserve shared cinematic memories and elevate the collective Tamil narrative in global film conversations.
- Support the growth of North American Tamil talent by connecting them with audiences, collaborators, and cultural institutions.
- Showcase films with purpose—not polish—anchored in the Tamil language, diaspora life, and intergenerational heritage.
