India's biggest and oldest international film event, the 51st edition of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI), gets underway on Saturday in Goa and will be inaugurated at the hands of Southern filmstar Sudeep.## This year's edition of IFFI is being organized in a hybrid format, in wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, which has forced the organizers to limit attendance, both at the opening and closing events, as well as during the screening of the 224 films from nearly sixty countries, which are scheduled to be screened at the event. The festival has been curtailed to a duration of eight days this year.## Union Minister Prakash Javadekar to participate in the festival of India (IFFI), said the latest edition of the festival, beginning in the state capital from Saturday, is special. "As many as 224 films from 60 countries will feature in the festival. The event is really important from the art and culture perspective. For the first time, owing to Covid-19, this year's edition is being organized in a hybrid format. So, people will also be able to watch it online", he explained.## Some of the highlights of the event include honoring the triple Oscar winner 80-year-old Italian cinematographer who has worked on classic films like 'The Last Emperor' and 'Apocalypse Now' with the lifetime achievement award.## "The festival will be conducted in the hybrid format, where movies will be screened in the auditorium and some of the sections are curated for the online platform," Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said on Friday.## "All pandemic protocols will be followed according to the MHA guidelines. The total seating capacity has also been reduced," Sawant also said, adding that around 199 screenings would be organized in the physical format, out of which 85 are national and international movie premiers.## Stay tuned...
