In a world where differences are tolerated lesser and lesser, we celebrate the diversity of life and culture, by showcasing the beauty of the small, diverse and distinct experiences of millions of people across the globe, witnessed and retold in the form of documentary and short fiction films, by hundreds of skilled and committed filmmakers. ViBGYOR expresses the significance of each colour in the rainbow, saying it boldly that beauty comes from diversity rather than uniformity. Celebrating Identities and Diversities is the central theme of ViBGYOR International Film Festival.
