Maharashtra Film, Stage and Cultural Development Corporation Limited DadasahebPhalkeCitranagariFilmcity and Department of Cultural Affair along with Government of Maharashtra are getting nine selected Marathi films. These films have been approved and selected by the selection committee of the Department of Cultural Affair.

Industry screenings are held at the market venue in three digital theatres equipped with optimized screens and improved sound system. The section gives producers an opportunity to showcase their films to the attending Buyers, Sales Agents and Festival Directors / Programmers. Films are screened in Digital formats only, and bookings are made on first-come, first-served basis.

‘The Viewing Room’ introduced in the Film Bazaar in 2011, presents films that seek finishing funds, world sales, distribution partners and festivals. Here, programmers, distributors, world sales agents and investors watch complete films, access their details and contact the director or producer. These films are viewed on individual computer terminals in private booths via the specially designed Viewing Room software. The Viewing Room allows access only to buyers, financers, world sales agents and festival programmers.

Producers’ Lab was set up at Film Bazaar in 2013 to provide the necessary skill sets to aspiring & upcoming Producers and to keep them abreast of the technologies and best practices available to fully exploit the potential of a film. Producers are the bridge between the creative and financial aspects of the business and they are essential in maintaining a fine balance between the two. The Producers Lab has been designed keeping the same in mind.

Nina Lath Gupta, Managing Director NFDC says, “In the past eight years, since Film Bazaar was set up in 2007, we have seen a consistent growth in terms of quality and numbers in Marathi cinema. The previous editions of Film Bazaar have witnessed some fantastic Marathi films like Highway, Court and Killa. We are confident that these mini films will achieve the same degree of success as the previous films did at Film Bazaar.”

Shri. Sanjay P Bhokare, MD at Filmcity Mumbai says, “Marathi cinema is known to have content driven films and we believe Film Bazaar to a very prestigious platform to promote the same. These nine films selected by the cultural affair department are of very good caliber and we are sure that it is going to be of international level.”
