About
RINFF


The Rain International Nature Film Festival aims to bring together ecologically aware filmmakers from around the world in order to showcase their works, facilitating an authentic platform for raising environmental awareness. The first Rain International Nature Film Festival was held from 25th to 27th of January, 2019 at Munnar, Kerala. The second Rain International Nature Film Festival was held from the 24th to 26th of January, 2020 at Kumarakam, Near Bird Sanctuary, Kerala. Delegates from all over the world participated in the event which showcased the best films that are associated with nature. The last year, Due to the covid-19 outbreak, RINFF had no choice but forced to shift into a digital platform. Hence the 3rd edition of RINFF was entirely held at a virtual platform on 2021, January 29, 30 and 31. After the grand success of three editions, RINFF is coming up with its 4th edition which will be held at CMS College, Kottayam on 26th and 27th February 2022. The Film festival is hosted by Birds Club International and Jayaraj Foundation.

Birds Club International is a non-commercial organization that aims at promoting global interest in birds, conservation of nature and the environment through public campaigns and education. Started in 2010, by National and International award winning Indian filmmaker, Jayaraj Rajasekharan Nair, as part of the Jayaraj Foundation, it is registered as a charitable organization to revive and conserve the environment, by tapping and utilizing optimum natural resources with the focus on birds to convey their message.
