Ganga River Film Festival

About The Entry

Ganga River FF is a virtual film festival located in Ganga River, Varanasi, India. It’s a black-and-white-only film festival that gives the audience a delightful experience of vintage movies.

Varanasi is one of the oldest living cities in the world. This festival pays homage to its long history by recalling, in parallel, the history and origins of film. Viewing black and white films in contrast with a sea of colorful cityscapes also creates a visual experience that demands an appreciation of its location.

The festival tagline, “Flow in Monochrome,” speaks to the psychedelic nature of the festival’s typographic theme while also textually alluding to the selection of black and white films that will be spotlighted during the festival.
