Which country has been named the Country of Honour at the 57th International Film Festival of India?
- A.Russia
- B.France
- C.Spain
- D.Singapore
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Spain, which brings four films to the festival, among them The Bad Son directed by Jaime Lorente and Bitter Christmas directed by Pedro Almodovar. Option A is wrong because Russia holds a different title at this edition, that of Partner Country, with its own showcase of four films including Bo Bo. Option D names the country represented by the closing film, We Are All Strangers by Anthony Chen, which is not the same as being honoured country. France appears only as a co-producing country in the Best Debut Feature Films competition, so option B is incorrect. Candidates are often asked to separate the Country of Honour from the Partner Country, so remember Spain first and Russia second. The festival itself is held in Goa from 20 to 28 November 2026 and is organised by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting with the Government of Goa.
