We came with our own stories, and leave carrying a few more. Six days of films, conversations, laughter, long days, late nights and people who slowly became part of the memory. From those who came to watch, to those who stayed behind the scenes and made it all happen, we leave with the same thing in our hands, a bag full of memories, and a little piece of IDSFFK in our hearts. ❤️ #idsffk #idsffk2026 #18idsffk #chalachitraacademy #idsffk26
