India's composite film event designed as a forum for exchanging information on lessons learnt in the past, the future of films, evolving technologies, film marketing, co-productions, film festivals and shooting at locations worldwide.

The event is organized by the Foundation for the Promotion of Film Arts & Crafts to bridge the information gap between the international market trends and the Indian Producers. The Partner country for this event is South Africa, a country which shares a common historical background with India and has the distinction of having the largest concentration of expatriate Indians. The partnership offers a host of opportunities to the Indian and South African film-makers to leverage strengths of each other and strengthen bilateral trade. The South African delegation which includes the top corporations, film commissions, pre & post-production companies, is expected to announce a special incentive for Indian film -makers at the event.
