CADRRE is a not-for-profit organization founded in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala,
with the aim of transforming the lives of individuals on the Autism Spectrum.
Inclusion for individuals on the autism spectrum is at the heart of CADRRE's mission, pursued through education, therapies, and advocacy. As part of our awareness initiatives, the CADRRE International Filmlet Festival on Autism (CIFFA) serves as a unique platform to share diverse, powerful stories of autistic individuals through short films.
CIFFA 2026 began accepting entries in late 2025. From the submissions received, six filmlets on the theme of autism were shortlisted for the final round and reviewed by an eminent jury comprising Bina Paul, Ferose V. R., Swarup B. R., and Venu.
On March 18th, a special screening of the CIFFA 2026 filmlets took place at Goethe Zentrum. It was an evening of reflection and solidarity, reinforcing the power of storytelling in shifting perceptions.
Our heartfelt thanks to Goethe Zentrum Trivandrum and Lulu Mall Trivandrum, for their generous support.
Let us continue to champion inclusion, celebrate diversity, and build a society where every individual is respected and empowered.
