Film Bazaar, organised by India’s National Film Development Corp (NFDC), has announced the 20 projects selected for this year’s Co-production Market, which is taking place as an in-person event for the first time since 2019.
While the projects all have a South Asian connection, many are set up as co-productions with countries including the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Australia, Canada and Japan. UK director Michael Radford is co-directing Spanish-Indian co-production The Princess Of Kapurthala with Manuel Estudillo, while Kaushik Ray will direct A Life A Rose, co-produced by France’s BackUp Media and India’s Taran Tantra Telefilms.
In addition to projects from India, the line-up also includes Nepali filmmaker Machindra Yongya’s Changing Sky and Depth Of Darkness, a Tamil and Malay-language project from Malaysian filmmaker Gogularaajan Rajendran.
Film Bazaar is taking place November 20-24 at the Goa Marriott Resort in Goa, India.
