NFDC’s Film Bazaar 2022 is different from all the bazaars you may have experienced thus far. With the merger of NFAI, Films Division and CFSI into NFDC, this Bazaar comes with a new approach. The first offline Bazaar post-Covid after two successful online editions, comes with pavilions set up in the block next to Marriott Goa, where the Bazaar has been tenting up for all offline editions.
As the Bazaar gets bigger, spreading beyond the bounds of Marriott, its aspiration of providing access to the filmmakers evolve into different methods.
While the Knowledge Series at inception was devised as an area where the filmmakers and several other stakeholders would understand the market movement globally and domestically from key decision makers and market drivers of the film industry, with this edition there has been a sharp shift in approach to the Bazaar and the Knowledge Series section.
At the pavilions several companies and countries are bringing their presence to the market in a big way. The impact and presence of these companies will be felt at the Knowledge Series section. The ministry’s focus has brought in panel discussions on the AVGC sector, Skill Development, and towards establishing India as a global content hub, to the programme this year. The curation of this section has been governed by these diktats.
Several Countries and a commune viz. Spain, the United Kingdom, Russia and Saint Tropez will be bringing in sessions on co-producing with these territories. Understanding how Co-production treaties work between nations to how Indian states are opening their arms to embrace content developers from every nook and corner can be met here. How to navigate conversations with trade papers when the indie content is young in the market, is a conversation queued in for indie filmmakers to understand how to drive coverage for their films early on. A timely discussion on curating classic cinema for contemporary audiences would be taking place at the Knowledge Series section.
With several presentations and discussions spread across four days, we hope all attendees will find something of value and catch the peppered insights at Knowledge Series 2022.
