October is considered as that silent month between the fervent summer activities and the winter celebrations. But we think that it needn't be a boring month of resting and waiting. Apart from the onset of autumn, this month sees many events and festivals unfold in different parts of the world. Let's take a look at them.

This festival which was first held 44 years ago has maintained its popularity ever since. We are sure that this will be a visual feast for the movie and art lovers.
