INDIAN FILM FESTIVAL STUTTGART 2026

STUTTGART, GERMANY – It is not the industry giant Bollywood, but the more flamboyant, louder and socially critical South Indian Mollywood cinema that will set the tone at the 23rd Stuttgart Indian Film Festival from 23rd to 26th July. Audiences can look forward to a colourful programme featuring spectacular scenes, clever twists, human depths, political undertones, breathtaking landscapes, vivid imagery and melancholic moments from the world of Malayalam cinema.
