Calcutta International Cult Films Festival is an ISO 9001:2015 Certified Organization and an IMDb Award Qualifying International Film Festival. It is an annual major award screening event that takes place in Kolkata and features cult films from around the world. The CICFF was started in 2016.[1][2][3]

At least one film from each category receives an award each month out of the more than 50 that are formally selected from the various categories. The most notable films are frequently presented in Calcutta and given a complimentary, thorough academic evaluation that is published in a number of international film journals. The Final Winners get the Golden Fox Awards and are screened in front of a live audience in the theatre in Kolkata after the CICFF community selects the Best of the Best.[4]

The CICFF winners are put forward for the GOLDEN FOX AWARDS. The most recent Golden Fox Awards were held in Kolkata's Rotary Sadan in January 2022.[4][5][6]
