During the Film Festival, Indian film makers will also attend a seminar titled“Vietnam –India Cinema Cooperation and its role in Promotion of Tourism” with a view to make films in Vietnamese locations.
The Indian Embassy in Vietnam has partnered with Indian Film Festival Worldwide (IFFW) which is an organization that promotes the diverse perspectives of the Indian diaspora by supporting Indian film makers and recognizing the leadership of entertainment industry performers. Mr.R C Dalal and Captain Rahul Bali are the two founders of the organization.
The festival is aimed to be a bridge between the Indian and international film makers who have the potential of reaching a crossover audience. IFFV would also offer the Vietnamese film industry a unique opportunity to learn about India’s multi-faceted culture and long history of film making.
The festival is supported by the Vietnam Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and has received an overwhelming show of support from members of the Indian Film fraternity who have committed their time and resources to make the Festival a showcase of the best creative talent from India and around the world.
