The Mumbai Academy of Moving Image (MAMI) is a public trust that organises the MAMI Mumbai Film Festival in the city of Mumbai, India. Actor, producer and author Priyanka Chopra Jonas is the chairperson of the trust while Shivendra Singh Dungarpur serves as the interim Festival Director.
Apart from the film festival, MAMI also organises the Year Round Programme, under which MAMI holds screenings and talks throughout the year (physical and virtual).
Director Shyam Benegal was the first chairperson of MAMI starting with the 1999 edition of the festival and he remained the chairperson through the 2014 edition of the festival. In 2015, he was replaced by director Kiran Rao,[1] who was convinced to become the chairperson by the then-new festival director Anupama Chopra.[2]
In 2019, Kiran Rao stepped down as chairperson and was replaced by actor Deepika Padukone,[3] who was then replaced by Priyanka Chopra Jonas in 2021.[4]
