Annual Cannes Film Festival scheduled to be held from 14th May to 25th

and regional diversity, with the aim of forging an increasing number of international
partnerships in the realm of distribution, production, filming in India, script
development and technology, and promoting film sales and syndication. The
initiatives undertaken to promote co-production between stakeholders, viability
of the Single Window Clearance mechanism and the possibility of enhanced
cooperation within the domain of film archiving in the backdrop of the National
Film Heritage Mission will be focus areas for interaction with foreign
producers and organizations associated with the film industry.
One

first of its kind to be released at Cannes aims to position India as a “Filming
Destination”. The resource guide has catalogued information on film policies,
movies for sales and distribution. The guide has exhaustive descriptions of the
policy initiatives of the ministry, its affiliated bodies; details of all
India’s co-production agreements; all Indian films at Cannes and visiting
Indian delegates; key databases pertaining to the sector and the winners of
this year’s national awards.
The resource book is expected to act as a
catalyst in view of the branding of the India Pavilion.The India Pavilion aims
to bring about substantial interest from the international community in
exploiting India’s full potential as the largest film-making nation in the
world. India has the most vibrant film sector and is currently occupying a
significant space in the global arena. India produces over 1000 films in more
