Golden Eagle USA
International Film Festival
Cinema is more than entertainment-it is a reflection of humanity, culture, imagination, and the spirit of our time.
For the past 5 years, we have successfully organized our festival in Mumbai, India under the name Iconic Bharat Gaurav Puraskar Film Festival. During these 5 years, we received tremendous support from Indian filmmakers and proudly celebrated outstanding achievements in cinema.
From the 6th edition onwards, our festival has been rebranded as the Golden Eagle USA International Film Festival as part of our vision to expand internationally and welcome filmmakers from around the world.
Although the festival now has a new international identity, Iconic Bharat Gaurav Puraskar will continue as a dedicated award category to recognize and honor Indian filmmakers under the Golden Eagle USA International Film Festival.
Only the festival’s name has changed. Our organizing team, our vision, our values, and our commitment to supporting independent filmmakers and quality cinema remain exactly the same.
The Golden Eagle USA International Film Festival stands as an international celebration of exceptional filmmaking and visionary storytelling. Established to honor artistic excellence across borders, the festival provides a distinguished platform where emerging voices and accomplished creators share stories that resonate with audiences around the world.
Named after the Golden Eagle—a symbol of vision, strength, freedom, and ambition—the festival embraces films that soar beyond convention and leave a lasting impression through their creativity, authenticity, and cinematic craft. We are committed to discovering powerful narratives from every corner of the globe, welcoming works that challenge perspectives, inspire dialogue, and showcase the limitless possibilities of the moving image.
Golden Eagle USA International Film Festival is dedicated to fostering meaningful connections within the global film community. Through official selections, awards, industry recognition, and international exposure, we aim to support filmmakers in expanding the reach and impact of their work beyond geographical and cultural boundaries.
