All delegates of Film Bazaar will have access to the Festival as well.

An interesting CO-production market organized simultaneously will offer selected directors/ producers the opportunity to present their feature film projects (in all languages and at any stage of production) to co producers, bankers, funds, sales agents, distributors, TV stations, buyers and other potential financiers from India and abroad. The feature film projects which the producers & distributors of various languages will present at the market will be in English Language Version for easy relativity & understanding.
