About

A festival with purpose.

FeIFF — the FeTNA International Film Festival — is presented by the Federation of Tamil Sangams of North America. After our debut at the 38th FeTNA Tamil Convention, we return at the 39th Convention in 2026 as a bold new chapter for Tamil cinema in North America.

Three days of screenings, conversations, and craft. Five awards. One stage where the boldest voices of Tamil cinema are recognized — from masters to the diaspora's emerging filmmakers.

Honor

Honoring our roots.

FeIFF was born inside the FeTNA Tamil Convention — a gathering of Tamil families across North America. The festival keeps that intimacy at its center.

Amplify

Amplifying voices.

From masters like Vetri Maaran and Mari Selvaraj to first-time directors in our diaspora, FeIFF is a stage where Tamil storytellers are seen and celebrated.

Connect

Connecting cinema and community.

Every screening is followed by conversation. Filmmakers meet audiences. Producers meet collaborators. New films begin here.
