TRAVELLING ACROSS THE GLOBE WITH CINEMA - with this unique concept, we are the world’s first and only global touring film festival with multiple editions in various countries, giving global branding & publicity to film makers, partners and associates.
Setting up our identity unique and completely different, we are passionate about our idea of touring and hosting festival at various places. This enhances the reach, popularity and visibility of films and thus of filmmakers to mass, providing a much bigger exposure to their talent and creativity. This truly fulfils our objective of providing independent filmmakers a wider attention and space to showcase their art and innovative ideas to the global audience. Audience in different cities also have a repository of fine movies of different taste & calibers from across the globe, to enjoy through our touring film festival.
Film screenings along with an award function are clubbed with networking with International film fraternity, gala dinners, meets, film workshops, literature seminars, interactions, expert lectures and much more in a truly international ambience.

The festival was founded in 2014 as Navi Mumbai International Film Festival-NMIFF which was the first ever film festival of the city - Navi Mumbai. Showcasing highest quality of content, balanced jury panel and the best in class event organising, NMIFF rose to become one of the top most film festival of the country and we are proud to state our growth & trust, film makers have shown on us since its inception.

In its 4th edition, we rebranded NMIFF as BANJARA INTERNATIONAL TOURING FILM FESTIVAL - BITFF, a global travelling film fest, so that we spread our wings worldwide and grow as a bigger international brand. With BITFF, we are now visiting various countries with our event and generating much more visibility to film makers, partners and sponsors through all possible means of reach, promotions & publicity to provide them best commercial benefits through our brand.
