The remarkable success of this year’s show reflects a buoyant industry outlook, fuelling optimism for a robust recovery in the upcoming seasons. This resurgence comes at a crucial time as our industry was stressed with tepid demand and recent challenges like the amendment affecting MSME payments. With the positive momentum generated by the FAB Show, there is a renewed confidence that the industry outlook will soon be back on growth path.”

This year’s FAB Show was a focal point for industry Innovation and Sustainability, showcased by over 200 domestic exhibitors, including major names like Grasim, Arvind, Siyaram’s, Gokul Print, Jindal, Banswara Syntex, Ruby Mills, Bhagwan Enterprise apart from many MSME’s.

Coproduction was one of the main requests from Indian filmmakers at the FILM BAZAAR 2023 film market, in which Russian companies and film commissions took part. Distributors and international film festivals were also interested in Russian films. A third focus of interest was the adaptation of Russian content.

In total, 1,250 representatives from 36 countries took part in the event. Russia was represented by 11 companies under the Russian Content Worldwide (RCW) brand and representatives of Russian film commissions at the “Filming Locations in Russia” stand. The participation of the Russian film industry was organized by ROSKINO with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation.

Russian participants held more than 150 meetings with representatives of companies from India, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Belgium, France, and Australia. International representatives were interested not only in the purchase and distribution of Russian content but there were also many requests from Indian producers for co-production. The surge of interest in joint film production was dictated, among other things, by a decision by the Indian government, announced on the first day of FILM BAZAAR, to significantly increase the filming incentives. The Indian government will compensate up to 40% of production costs, and international films are eligible for this program.

The Association of Women Film Producers, which was at FILM BAZAAR for the first time, is considering several projects for co-production, and negotiations were held with several Indian companies.

The topic of co-production was also discussed by Pan-Atlantic Studio, whose main task at FILM BAZAAR was to find an Indian co-production partner for their new film Gems, which will be partially shot in India. Many Indian film companies have expressed interest in the project, and Pan-Atlantic Studio is already planning meetings to discuss the details of possible cooperation. The film will tell the story of a girl Martha, nicknamed Martykha-Maharaja, from a Khanty-Mansi orphanage, who loves Indian cinema and dreams of going to this fabulous country. The film will be directed by Tina Barkalaya, whose debut film Hoffmann’s Fairy Tales became part of the main competition program of IFFI, which was held in parallel with the film market. Indian audiences really liked the film, and the company is confident that it will be widely shown in India.

KIT Film Studio presented a joint Russian-Indian documentary film Low Tide and two full-length film adaptation projects in development. The main focus of negotiations with Indian partners was also the possibility of co-production.

Representatives of international film festivals were interested in Russian content. As a result of negotiations, the sports drama Start Over by Dream Film Company will be presented in the Main Competition of the Ajanta-Ellora International Film Festival, which will be held from January 3 to 7, 2024 in Aurangabad, India. Festival selectors were also interested in the projects of the Association of Women Film Producers which presented four new dramas – The Liar, The Light, Kretsul, and Truth.

FILM BAZAAR 2023 was successful for Art Pictures Distribution. The company held meetings with distributors, large OTT platforms, and content producers from India, South Korea, and Taiwan. The company’s new full-length film, scheduled for release in 2024, Red Silk, the TV series The Librarian and Pilgrim aroused interest.

Bubble Studios’ new Major Grom film, Major Grom: The Game, has attracted the attention of many Indian companies as the action-adventure genre is very popular in India.

IGMAR company held negotiations at the film market on the possibility of the local adaptation of the company’s projects; IGMAR has already been successful in such cooperation with China. Representatives said that although India has well-established cinema preferences and a clearly defined cross-section of genres is popular, the professional community is always looking for fresh ideas. IGMAR also noted the productivity of meetings with representatives of Indian film festivals.

Projects from Media Telecom were popular with international buyers from India, South Korea, and France. The company presented the series Die Gracefully and Art and Fact, the feature films Gardes-Marines 1787. Peace and Gardes-Marines 1787. War and others.

Planeta Inform Film Distribution discussed the possibilities of content distribution in India and South Korea with representatives of distribution companies and VOD platforms. Agreements were reached to continue negotiations on Centaur, Anna’s Feelings, Telekinesis, Lost in the North, The Hunter, and The Elephant.

The Russian animation industry was represented at FILM BAZAAR by Voronezh Animation Studio (The Snow Queen and the Princess, Arctic Heroes, etc.) and Riki Group (Beardy Bodo, The Fixies, etc.). They noted that specialists from the Indian animation industry were interested in the opportunity to collaborate with Russian animation companies. Voronezh Studio also discussed collaboration with Indian VFX studios. Content buyers from South Korea also showed interest in the projects of Russian animation producers.

ROSKINO also organized a “Filming Locations in Russia” stand as part of the film market, where opportunities for filming in various Russian regions were presented (representatives from St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad, and Khabarovsk worked at the stand). The stand attracted the attention of Indian producers and filmmakers, some of whom already have experience filming in Russia, and are now looking for new filming locations in different Russian cities. Among the questions that interested filmmakers were how developed the regional rebate system is, what other government support measures exist for filming in Russia, and the possibilities of co-production.

NEXT 75 Conference searches for answers to the challenges of the future

Dec 15, 2020 by Neel Achary 0 Comments #Moscow, #NEXT 75 international conference, #NEXT 75 Youth Conference, #Russia, #Sochi

Moscow: On December 16, Sochi (Russia) will host the NEXT 75 international conference dedicated to global issues and challenges, which humanity is facing today. The main goal of the conference is to establish a dialogue about the future of our planet between famous scientists and the most proactive members of the younger generation.

The NEXT 75 Youth Conference is a logical element in the closing phase of the celebration of the Russian nuclear industry 75th anniversary. After paying tribute to the achievements of the past and talking about the technologies of our time, the industry turns to tomorrow since nuclear scientists are used to looking far ahead and planning for decades. Today’s pupils and students will decide how the future will unfold. The young generation should have the fullest available expert information on global problems and scientifically backed ways of solving them.

What should humanity prepare for in the next 10, 25 and even 75 years? Which technologies will develop most quickly, and which history will leave behind? Will there be global conflicts due to lack of resources? Will there be enough space on Earth for over 10 billion people? Have we passed the point of no return in global climate change? Are environmental disasters of unprecedented proportions awaiting us? Is it possible to fully prepare for future outbreaks and could they be avoided altogether?

The participants of the conference will be able to ask the world’s leading scientists and public figures all these and many other questions. The agenda of the conference will be devoted to closely related problems like resource scarcity, population growth, new diseases and environmental issues. Thanks to the use of multimedia technologies, communication on serious topics will be very exciting with many visual surprises awaiting the audience.

Scientists from around the world, such as the Nobel Peace Prize winner Rodney John Allam and Carl Safina, ecology Professor at the Rutgers University (USA), are expected to address the conference.

Oyewale Tomori, WHO virologist and expert in the implementation of innovative solutions in the fight against pandemics, will tell about possible diseases of the future. Miguel Brandao, Associate Professor in the Department of Industrial Ecology and Life Cycle Assessment, KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Thomas Blees, President of the Science Council for Global Initiatives (SCGI) will speak at the Resource Scarcity panel. Tejbir Singh Rana, Professor at the University of Delhi will talk about the problem of overpopulation, which is expected to be one of the most acute in the future.

The conference is also expected to be attended by celebrities and opinion leaders, for example, Russian actor and director and Danila Kozlovsky, Jane Morris Goodall, United Nations Messenger of Peace. Special guests of the conference are Elena Shmeleva, head of “Talent and success” foundation and Alexey Likhachev, Rosatom Director General.

Organization of a conference aimed at solving global problems is a logical step for the State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom, which makes a significant contribution to achieving sustainable development goals. The Russian nuclear industry can provide all of humanity with so much more than powerful carbon-free energy source, including many unique technologies in the most promising areas that will be in high demand in the future.

The conference will be held in Russian and English in a mixed offline and online format. Two hundred gifted Russian pupils and students will attend the event at the Atom Hall in the Sirius Park of Science and Art in Sochi, and another 400 young people from all over the world will be invited to join the conference online with the opportunity to ask questions and participate in discussions.

Despite the pandemic, hundreds of people will be able to have live communication thanks to the Atom Hall, which will host the conference. Atom Hall is a unique space created by Rosatom for conducting business and educational events in online and offline formats. The hall is equipped with all the necessary modern conference equipment. Its seating capacity is up to 900 people. Rosatom and the Sirius educational center will jointly use it for various events.

Safety is an absolute priority in the nuclear industry, which extends far beyond nuclear facilities. The latest air disinfection system is installed in the Atom Нall. The conference will be held in full compliance with sanitary and epidemiological requirements.

Webcast of the conference will begin on the http://next75.com/ as well as on Rosatom social networks on December 16 at 15.00 local time. Anyone from any country of the world is invited to become a spectator of the three-hour intellectual dialogue.

Join us, see you at NEXT 75, and see you in the future!
