The IFFI ICFT UNSESCO Gandhi Medal is an international honor instituted since the 46th International Film Festival of India.[1] [2] The annual award is presented to an outstanding film which promotes peace and inter-cultural dialogue.[3] [4] [5]
In the year 1994, UNESCO issued a commemorative medal, marking the 125th anniversary of the birth of Mahatma Gandhi.[6] Subsequently, since 2015, ICFT, the UNESCO international advisory body on all matters concerned with film, television and news media, headquartered in Paris France, in collaboration with International Film Festival of India, honors the commemorative Fellini Award to an outstanding film that best reflects Mahatma Gandhi's ideals of peace, tolerance and non-violence.[7] [6]
