Speaking about the festival Subhash Ghai said, "This 3-day festival is dedicated to our majestic country. Patriotism and cinema are two inseparable parts of entertainment. When patriotism is personified on the 90mm screen, it fills the heart of every Indian with extreme pride and love. I still remember the reactions of the audiences when 'I love my India' from Pardes was being played on the screen. This festival is especially for underprivileged kids who are deprived of the joy of cinema. We, at Whistling Woods International, have always wanted to create an avenue whereby we are able to provide access to the realities of the filmmaking process to film lovers and cinema enthusiasts."

“We decided to use the opportunity of the completion of 100 years of Indian Cinema with 2 large open for all events namely ‘Cinema 100’ & ‘Cinema 100: The Next Wave’,” he added.

The festival is open to common people, and cinema enthusiasts who can visit the campus for screenings, workshops, panel discussions, masterclasses, and exhibits, among others. This is an ‘open-for-all,' festival that also includes special workshops for underprivileged children.
