GANDHI PANORAMA : International Festival of Films on Gandhiji and his principles
You are well aware that 150 years of Gandhiji’s birth will be celebrated soon and it becomes necessary that the new generation must be apprised about him and his principles. This remains the inspiration and the reason for organizing GANDHI PANORAMA: International Festival of Films on Gandhiji and his principles.
We have already organized nine editions of GANDHI PANORAMA in different cities of India, BHOPAL, SEWAGRAM, PATNA, MOTIHARI, BETIA, MUJAFFARNAGAR, GAYA & HAJIPUR in association with various state governments.
We screened films, from 11 countries, based on Gandhiji and his principles. Films were shown free. In all these festivals either the Chief Minister or Governor had presided the function. There is no entry fee for film submission and as well as viewing, so that everyone can see, to get inspiration. We wish to take this festival to prominent cities of the world.

4th edition of the Urban Lens Film Festival, 21st to 24th Sept'17 - Bengaluru and 6th to 8th Oct'17 - New Delhi
The city, in the cinematic imagination, has always been a
site of multiple and complex narratives. These narratives have allowed
for different ways of seeing and telling stories about the urban
landscape; about people and places whose stories might not immediately
be apparent.
In keeping with its commitment of engaging with different voices around the urban, the Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS) will host the 4th edition of the Urban Lens Film Festival from 21st to 24th September 2017 in Bengaluru and 6th to 8th October 2017 in New Delhi, in association with the Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan in both cities.
This year, the festival features an open call for entries. Urban Lens is calling for films that explore the idea of the city and urban questions. Films of any genre are eligible to enter the festival including animation, non-fiction, short fiction/feature fiction, experimental and student films.

Asian Film Centre Global Fest, Bangalore- 5th June 2017
Asian Film Centre Global Fest is an annual event designing to
spot filmmaking talent and matching them with international sales
agents. AFC Global Fest is a bridge between independent filmmakers and
international sales agents. This year we are expecting 1000+ delegates
to attend the fest.
With substantial revenue (sometimes well above 50 percent) coming
from exploitation outside of a film’s home country, it is vital that
producers should target and then structure deals with foreign sales
agents.
What is an international sales agent?
An international sales agent is the conduit to your film’s distribution outside of its country of origin. The sales agent will acquire a set of rights from you, pitch and sell these distribution rights to potential distributors around the world, draft distribution agreements, deliver the physical and electronic materials of your film to these distributors and, finally, collect and pay the revenue due to you. An international agent will be your partner for years, helping craft the commercial life of your film on the world stage.
What is an independent cinema?
“independent cinema” as film outside the established system of filmmaking. Probably even more widely, beyond the established system of values: the experimental, low-budget, underground, various new wave, and so on.
Why you should submit to AFC Global Fest?
Because it is path-breaking, one of its kind event. Asia is the biggest film market of the world, e.g. Chinese film market and the Indian Film market. This is your chance to show your presence in Asia. As the submission is free you can always take a chance.
