Tina Ambani, patron of MAMI said: “Mumbai is the cradle of Indian cinema, embracing its yesterday, reflecting today and welcoming every tomorrow. This logo reflects the ethos of the city and the festival.” The new identity has used an array of colours, each one representing a particular category at the festival while at the same time reflecting the diverse cultural mosaic of financial capital of India. The 15th edition of Mumbai Film Festival will also pay tribute to late Indian filmmakers like Yash Chopra and Rituparno Ghosh.
