Addressing the gathering at inauguration of Film Bazaar, Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting and Youth Affairs & Sports Anurag Singh Thakur, said that India is one of the largest film making countries in the world, and International Film Festival of India (IFFI) is Asia’s biggest film festival. Hence producers come here to engage, and collaborate with filmmakers in India, making IFFI the right platform for the initiative of Film Bazaar.

Union Minister Anurag Thakur said that at IFFI there will be ample opportunities to find co-producers and collaborators for films. “We aim to become a large marketplace where films can be made and sold”, he said.

The Minister also recognised the efforts of NFDC, Ministry of Information & Broadcasting and the Steering Committee, in bringing changes and introducing new initiatives in this year’s IFFI.  He invited suggestions and ideas to make IFFI further bigger and better.
