Chinese Director Yan Han was awarded the Special Mention Award for his film 'A Little Red Flower' at the festival.

This is the first time that the BRICS Film Festival has been conducted alongside the IFFI. The BRICS festival had films from Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa participating in it.
