Gandhi Films Foundation (www.gandhifilms.org) is a registered public trust created as part of the Gandhi National Memorial Fund formed on the death of Mahatma Gandhi in 1950 by the then Indian national leaders such as Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Patel and Dr. Rajendra Prasad.
The objective of the Gandhi Films Foundation was to procure and acquire photographs and filmic material on Mahatma Gandhi from all over the world, so that his teachings and values remain under one roof.
The foundation has a rich repository of audio and celluloid tapes of Gandhi’s speeches, meetings, etc., which were gathered by the British Raj during the pre-Independence period and was later recovered by the Government of India after Independence from a government-owned library in Shimla.
