Every year, JFF receives over 7,000 film entries from more than 100 countries. After a rigorous selection process by an eminent preview panel, around 500 outstanding films are selected for screening during the festival.The festival is inaugurated by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India, in New Delhi and travels across 10 states, reaching an audience of over 500 million people.
JFF also recognizes excellence in cinema through a prestigious awards programme, where filmmakers and artists are honoured across multiple categories with awards and cash prizes at the grand finale in Mumbai.
