The first International film festival of India was held in Bombay as early as 1952. At the third festival in 1965, the first competitive one for India, the Paris based Federation Internationale des Associations de Producteurs de Films ( FIAPF ) gave official recognition to the Indian Festival putting it on par with those of Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Karlovy Vary and Moscow. Since the 9th IFFI in 1983, with the participation of 22 World Countries, the festival has become a major forum for Third World cinema.
