Movies today are produced locally and consumed truly globally and it is time our producers turn to co-production and make global movies, N. Vidyashankar, Artistic Director, Bengaluru International Film Festival (BIFFes), said.
According to Mr. Vidyashankar, film producers in India are missing international access as of now, and probably the industry should develop a platform to build a connection to the global production scenario. “Although the intent to go truly global is certainly there, a compelling need is missing because Indian movies have enough audience now at home and in the diasporas outside,’‘ he observed.
BIFFes, set to kick-start from February 29, will have deliberations on various topics including on the prospects of co-production for Indian producers, with Cary Rajinder Sawhney, Director, London Indian Film Festival, participating in it.
