What is the theme of the 57th International Film Festival of India?
- A.Stories Without Borders
- B.Cinema for All
- C.One World, One Screen
- D.Borderless Dreams
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Stories Without Borders. The 57th International Film Festival of India carries that theme, and it is under this theme that Russia has been spotlighted as the festival’s Partner Country with a package of four films. The festival is held in Goa from 20 to 28 November 2026 and brings together film-makers, industry professionals and audiences from India and other countries, with country showcases, premieres, competitions and industry engagements. The theme itself is echoed in the way the Russian selection is described, as proof that cinema can cross geographical lines and build understanding through shared human experience. Options B, C and D — Cinema for All, One World, One Screen and Borderless Dreams — are wrong because none of them is the theme named for this edition; they only sound similar in spirit to the real one.
