The air is already electric with anticipation—AILF 2025 is on its way, and for literature lovers, storytellers, poets, performers, and culture enthusiasts, this means just one thing: something magical is about to unfold in the heart of Ahmedabad.

The Ahmedabad International Literature Festival (AILF) has carved its own identity in the vibrant literary landscape of India. With each edition, it brings together a beautiful mix of writers, thinkers, journalists, historians, artists, and young changemakers under one roof. It isn’t just a festival—it’s a celebration of words, ideas, and voices.
AILF doesn’t believe in boundaries. It breaks them—between languages, disciplines, generations, and even between stage and audience. Whether you’re a fan of Gujarati literature, global poetry, cinema, history, or contemporary storytelling through blogs and social media—AILF speaks your language.

After a phenomenal response in past editions, AILF 2025 is being planned on a grander, more immersive scale. Rumors are already swirling about exclusive sessions, live performances, international collaborations, and spaces dedicated to youth-led storytelling, sustainability, cinema and literature.
Here’s what we’re excited for:
•  Author meet-and-greets that make your bookshelf come alive.
•  Stage performances merging literature with theatre and music.
•  Panel discussions where difficult questions are not avoided, but embraced.
•  Workshops, open mics, and art corners—offering platforms to emerging creators.
•  Regional language sessions and storytelling circles that keep traditions alive.

One of AILF’s strengths lies in how young people are not just attendees—they are creators and contributors. In a world that constantly moves fast, AILF is where you pause to think, speak, listen, and reflect. It’s where schoolchildren ask authors brave questions, where student journalists cover live events, and where dreams often begin with a page.

While the official dates and venue are announced — 11 &12 October,2025 with the Theme- Cinema and Literature , the excitement is already echoing across campuses, cafes, libraries, and literary circles. Social media is abuzz with guesses about the speaker lineup, and volunteers are already rolling up their sleeves.
AILF 2025 is not just another festival—it’s where stories meet the city. Whether you’re a regular visitor or someone planning to attend for the first time, get ready to be inspired, surprised, and completely immersed.

Ahmedabad has always been a city of culture and conversations. With AILF 2025, it’s once again preparing to open its arms and its imagination to the world. As we count down the days, one thing is certain: we’ll leave AILF with more stories than we came with.
Stay tuned. Stay curious. AILF 2025 is going to be unforgettable.
