The stage is set, the cameras are ready, and the buzz is real as IFP Season 15 is here to take creativity to an all-new high! Over the years, IFP has grown into the world's leading fest for everything Creative x Culture, a melting pot where filmmakers, writers, musicians, designers, storytellers & creatives from over 30 domains from across the country come together to create, collaborate, and celebrate. And this season, IFP gets bigger with creative energy.
From riveting conversations and masterclasses to its signature 50 Hour challenges, IFP 2025 is all set to become the ultimate playground for artists who live and breathe stories. Think of it as a place where your favourite creators meet your future favourites, all in one vibrant space.
The festival kicks off with an exciting lineup that reads like a who’s who of India’s creative landscape. Siddhant Chaturvedi gets candid with Vaibhav Munjal in Rooted in Reality, Shilpa Rao joins Kopal Khanna for Qisse With Kopal, while Hansal Mehta and Sameer Nair sit down with Siddhartha Basu to talk about Contemporising Indian History. The storytelling only gets richer with Raja Kumari tracing her journey in Making of Kashi to Kailash, Abhishek Bachchan and Shoojit Sircar decoding Becoming Arjun, Gurinder Chadha giving audiences a peek into Making of a Masala Musical and Shefali Shah taking the audiences through Many Shades of Shefali Shah.
And if that’s not enough to get you hyped, brace yourself for more! The festival’s schedule is a goldmine for anyone who loves stories, across film, digital, design, music, photography, and literature. Picture Jesse Armstrong, the creator of Succession, talking about Making of a Modern Auteur; Parvathy Thiruvothu and Richa Chadha redefining the Everyday Heroine; Adil Hussain and Neeraj Kabi on Sculpting Realistic Characters; Anand Gandhi and Zain Memon exploring Maya and the Making of Modern Lore; and even Ranveer Brar and Kunal Vijayakar discussing the Food of the Future Past.
From Platon’s visual philosophy in photography to Aaquib Wani’s design masterclass, from AI-powered creativity to timeless storytelling, IFP Season 15 has something for every imagination. It’s where the future of India’s creative industries feels tangible, alive, unfiltered, and wildly inspiring. With every passing year, IFP has turned from a festival into a full-fledged movement. It’s no longer just about watching or listening, it’s about doing, creating, and being part of the story. And this year, as the lights go up and the conversations begin, one thing’s for sure, IFP Season 15 is not just a festival, it’s an emotion every creator wants to experience.
