AICFF is a narration of every individual’s core memory from childhood. Wherein these children’s centric films will play a vital role to communicate resilience, innocence, curiosity, and selfless-love to adults who tend to forget and celebrate the actual moments of life. AICFF plays a role to bridge the gap between these story-tellers and creative individuals.
