Emerging Trends in Selected Films

We focus on showcasing quality films above trends. Our aim is to present cinema that resonates deeply with Indian audiences. Each film has its unique theme and storytelling approach, which is evident in the festival’s lineup. One standout example is “The Swedish Torpedo,” highlighting female empowerment through a compelling narrative.

Conversely, we also feature films like “Grieving Underwater” from Luxembourg, addressing sensitive issues such as domestic violence. This dual approach reflects the multifaceted nature of life within the EU, showcasing both achievements and areas for growth.

Challenges and Rewards of Curating

Being a curator is a dream job for many film enthusiasts. You get to watch and select outstanding films, making it an exhilarating experience. However, the challenge is in limiting selections to just 28 films when there are so many admirable candidates. Choosing a single Polish film was particularly tough for me, given my background.

The film we selected, “It’s not my Film,” beautifully captures Poland’s landscapes and culture. Having traveled to India previously left a lasting impression on me. This festival offers a chance to explore cultural differences that enrich our understanding and connection with one another.
