Patron Gouri Basu brings new energy to F5IFF’25, championing the Global Green Film Movement

The Fest5 International Film Festival (F5IFF'25), set for early September, is a unique global event focused solely on environment and climate change. With over 375 films from 60+ countries, it has become a powerful platform for stories addressing ecological crises and celebrating heritage conservation.

"F5IFF is honored to have Gouri Basu as a key patron," said Sourav De, Director of #F5IFF. "She's already shown unwavering support, believing the festival can be a game-changer in raising awareness about environmental degradation and climate change."

Sourav De added that Basu stresses engaging youth, particularly millennials, who'll face the consequences of today's environmental choices. "She believes the festival should be experienced by the next generation, future custodians of our planet," he said.

Basu's involvement lends credibility and cultural depth to the festival. As a leader in culture and education, she's known for promoting inclusive initiatives across India.

This year's lineup features films like Kuthood, Ballad of the Mountain, and Tiger Anthem, each offering compelling environmental narratives. The previous edition, F5IFF'24, was well-received for its thematic depth and curatorial excellence.

With Basu's guidance and growing global attention, F5IFF is emerging as a significant cultural force in the climate action movement. Visit www.f5iff.com for more information.
