Routes 2 Roots held the fifteen-day School Cinema International Film Festival (SCIFF) through its digital program platform for its beneficiaries across India. These are ways of motivating the children towards the vast canvas of art and culture giving them international exposure and a platform to highlight their talent to the world. 
SCIFF, curated for children, featured movies from 20 plus countries including Saudi Arabia, France, Spain, Iran, Mexico, Germany, USA, United Kingdom, China, India, Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Finland, Armenia, Turkey, Hungary and Iceland among others. Movies in different genres and languages were screened daily for students of the cultural education program. A unique feature of the movies included in this festival was that all of them were directed and made by talented children from these countries. The selected movies also included some silent films and all of them were screened free of cost for the NGO’s beneficiaries across the schools in India in a festival through 16th August to 31st August.
