Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting, Shri Rajyavardhan Rathore has said that the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) was an endeavour to understand the various social and cultural ethos through the eyes of cinema. The Festival of films went beyond language, boundaries and connected people with one another. The entire film architecture involving different aspects connected the audience with one another. IFFI-2014 as a platform had succeeded in achieving this objective. The Minister stated this while speaking at the closing ceremony of 45th International Film Festival of India at Panaji, Goa.
