Kochi will play host to the fifth edition of the All Lights India International Film Festival (ALIIFF) to be held from February 8 to 12, said its organisers.

More than 50 feature films from various countries, including national and regional films will be screened.

ALIIFF has been the brainchild of Sohan Roy, a producer and director besides being the chairman of UAE headquartered Aries Group of Companies.

Roy has been credited with giving the Kerala audiences, a state of the art viewing through high quality film projection and classy theatres at his Aries Vismaya Max theatres.

"After four previous editions being held here and at Hyderabad, ALIIFF is growing and is on course to bring in a new culture of film viewing in Kerala," said Roy.

This time the Kochi Corporation is partnering to see that ALIIFF gets all the local support.

Nisha Joseph is the artistic director and the chief organiser of ALIIFF.
