IFFOR Exhibitions
Cinema begins with the art of storytelling and finds expression through light, colour, sound, rhythm, and perspective. Presented as part of the iStart International Film Festival of Rajasthan (IFFOR), this exhibition invites visitors to embark on a walk-through, experiential journey that deconstructs cinema into its most essential elements—while seamlessly weaving in the soul of Rajasthan, its colours, textures, oral storytelling traditions, and performative arts.
Maah Space
Enriching the experience at IFFOR is an installation from Maah Space, a contemplative zone that invites pause and introspection. Conceived as a refuge within the exhibition, it encourages viewers to slow down, breathe, and engage with the subtle dialogues between space, material, and emotion. Through its interplay of texture, light, and spatial sensibility, the work bridges inner landscapes with collective and cultural memory, evoking feelings of stillness and connection. In doing so, it adds another layer to the exhibition’s emotional and sensory rhythm.
Sudhir Kasliwal
Sudhir Kasliwal, one of Rajasthan’s most eloquent visual storytellers, is exhibiting his photographic work ‘In Dialogue with cinema’ at IFFOR. In a region often celebrated for its majestic forts and palaces, Kasliwal’s lens turns instead toward the poetry of the everyday — the faces, gestures, rituals, and fleeting moments that define the rhythm of life. His images move beyond spectacle and nostalgia, offering an intimate and deeply human portrait of Rajasthan’s people and their lived experiences.
Jaipur Rugs
Explore material storytelling through a dedicated space featuring Jaipur Rugs’ Manchaha collection. Jaipur Rugs, a globally acclaimed social enterprise, bridges traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design while empowering rural artisans across India. In this exhibition their work translates oral narratives and personal memories of weavers into woven form, celebrating co-creation and process where artisans become designers and stories are embedded into threads, echoing the very language of cinema-making.
