Which edition of the International Film Festival of India is being held in Goa in November 2026?
- A.The 55th edition
- B.The 56th edition
- C.The 57th edition
- D.The 58th edition
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the 57th edition. The International Film Festival of India is being held in Goa from 20 to 28 November 2026, and the WaveX Startup Pavilion at WAVES Bazaar is organised alongside it, with its own showcase window from 20 to 24 November 2026. Option A and option B are wrong because those numbers belong to earlier editions of the festival, which is held every year, so the edition number rises by one each time. Option D is wrong because that edition is still ahead. A candidate should treat the edition number, the host state and the dates as one block of information, since question papers often combine them. It also helps to remember that IFFI is held annually in Goa and counts among the leading film festivals of Asia, drawing filmmakers, industry professionals and audiences from India and abroad.
