Recently, after nine days of premieres, red carpet, masterclasses, and
workshops, the 53rd IFFI ended. At IFFI’s Film Bazaar, filmmakers from all
across Asia could showcase their work alongside that of their local peers.
Select filmmakers were allowed to pitch their ideas to an audience of
festival attendees, international programmers, funders, distributors, and
sales agents. Film Bazaar, according to attendees, has the potential to
become a one-stop, must-attend event not just for India but for the rest of
the world, and IFFI itself is seen as a bridge for the film business
between the East and the West.
