Film Bazaar Online, hosted by India’s National Film Development Corporation (NFDC), has announced the 20 projects selected for this year’s Co-Production Market (CPM), one of the key programmes of the event, which is taking place virtually November 20-25.
The 20 projects originate from 11 countries and feature a diverse range of Indian and European languages including Assamese, Bengali, English, German, Hindi, Kannada, Konkani and Malayalam (see full list below).
Among filmmakers pitching projects at the event are Nithin Lukose, whose last feature, Film Bazaar 2020 project Paka – River Of Blood, premiered at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival; Nikhil Mahajan, who has won acclaim for Marathi-language features Pune 52, Baji and Godavari; and Afghan filmmaker Roya Sadat, whose 2017 A Letter To The President played at Locarno and Busan.
The selected filmmakers will pitch their projects to Indian and international producers, directors, programmers, financiers and sales agents at Open Pitch Online, which will be made available for delegates to watch in different time zones on the first day of Film Bazaar.
