The poster concept for India's 54th IFFI centres around a primary image of a peacock surrounded by a mesmerising portrayal of cinema, arts, textiles, and Indian language scripts. This aesthetically stunning composition encapsulates the joy and wonder of cinema and urges viewers to celebrate India's unique cultural heritage.

The poster serves as a vibrant invitation to immerse oneself in the world of Indian cinema and experience the power of storytelling through different artistic mediums. The theme for the festival is "Celebrate the Joy of Cinema." This theme highlights the immense happiness, excitement, and inspiration that cinema brings to people's lives. It aims to showcase the diversity and richness of Indian culture through the lens of cinema, arts, millets, textiles, and Indian scripts.

The festival poster features a majestic peacock at the centre, exuding beauty, and elegance. The peacock's vibrant feathers serve as a canvas to showcase the rich tapestry of Indian cinema, and culture through arts, millets, textiles, and Indian scripts. Stills of several big Indian films like 'Kantara', 'RRR', 'Mom', 'Tanhaji', 'Ponniyin Selvan' and 'The Lunch Box' could be seen on the poster.

The show will feature 3D digital clothes made for the metaverse by students who took the course, which lasted 16 weeks and focused on investigating trends and designing digital designs.

Three interactive experiences addressing the issue will be available within the area, and the students' work will also be available for purchase via Roblox's Marketplace.

Kyle Li, assistant professor of communication design and technology at Parsons, stated in a press release that the designs on display demonstrated how students drew inspiration from diverse creative backgrounds and pushed the boundaries of what was achievable with metaverse-only clothes.

"This is a new milestone for user-generated content and digital fashion design at the University," Li noted, "and our students are at the very forefront of it."

Through their licencing partnership, Parsons and Roblox stated that they would continue to collaborate to increase access to design education.

The current collaboration expands on Parsons' 'The New School's N Ventures' venture, which seeks to increase access to design learning through collaborations with organisations and learning programmes.
