The festival is organised as part of the Global campaign of 16 Days of Activism against Gender Based Violence (25th November to 10th December) and marks November 30th, as the 'South Asian Women's Day' - to remember the shared histories and feminist struggles of the region. Initiated by Aanchal Kapur, founder of Kriti Film Club, the festival owes its genesis in 2020 during a conversation with Kamla Bhasin, to celebrate feminist friendships in and across South Asia. Since then, we have held four in-person editions and five online editions of BBFFF!
