The YathaKatha International Film & Literature Festival (YKIFLF) is a celebration of cinema and literature, aiming to bridge the gap between these two art forms and re-engage audiences with storytelling. Founded by Charu Sharma, the festival serves as an independent showcase that includes film screenings, book launches, award ceremonies, and educational events such as literary presentations, panel discussions, and master classes. The first edition of the festival took place in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, in 2021.
