Indian Film Festival of Melbourne 2022 will be taking place, physically and virtually, from August 12-20. Here's the full list of nominations.

The Indian Film Festival Of Melbourne, one of the biggest international Indian film festivals, has just announced its nominations for its annual awards ceremony. The festival, which is presented by the Victorian Government, is an annual festival that takes place in Melbourne, Australia, and showcases the best of films from India and the subcontinent. In its 13th edition to be held this month, the IFFM 2022 is making its comeback for its physical version of the festival, after the festival having been solely virtual for the last two years.

This year's big nominees include the starring leads and filmmakers / producers of films like Jai Bhim, The Rapist, Gangubai Kathiwadi, 83, Badhaai Do, Sardar Udham amongst others. Another key highlight is that the Best Film winner automatically gets a nomination nod under the Best Asian Film category at the annual prestigious AACTA (Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards). Keeping with the evolving times, in 2021 IFFM introduced streaming platforms too as categories for awards. This year too, those awards will be included with Best Series, Best Actor in a Series and Best Actress in a Series.
