India news brief · Reported 2026-10-01 · Checked 2 October 2026
What happened
Media accreditation for the 57th International Film Festival of India opened on 1 October 2026. The PIB announcement identifies Panaji, Goa as the venue and sets 15 October as the closing date for media applications.
Why it matters
Accreditation is a process for qualifying media professionals. It should not be confused with general delegate registration or taken as an automatic guarantee of admission to every event.
What readers should know
Applicants should read the document requirements, submit through the official accreditation portal and retain confirmation of their application. Film enthusiasts who are not applying as media should use the festival’s delegate information instead. Before booking travel, verify the current schedule and the terms of the registration category that applies to you.
