Special programmes are organized from time to time as part of a Memorandum of Understanding between India and another country. Among the most successful examples of such activities are the Festivals of India, which have taken place in several countries under a reciprocal arrangement. Films usually form an important component of these activities and DFF has been responsible for organizing special packages of films subtitled in the language of the country concerned. These large packages of films have ranged in size from 25 to over 100 films at a time. Reciprocally, DFF arranges screenings, in different cities of the country, of similar foreign packages of films sent to India. Indian films have been shown in UK, France, USA, Japan, USSR and Switzerland, as part of the Festivals of India in these countries. Reciprocal screenings of films, from France, USSR, Japan and Switzerland among others, were organized different cities of India by DFF. |
