The panel aims to explore the kind of Indian content that’s breaking clutter across the world, stories that are being told or acquired for remakes or adaptations, lms that are engaging audiences across languages and cultures, etc. The idea is to explore the kind of Stories that resonate across cultures. The session explores the phenomenon of how some lms simply lose their punch when they enter a different socio- economic space only to nd mammoth success in a different milieu.
So how do international programmers and sales agents perceive these cultural quirks? What drives them to pick up a lm to champion or represent? How does the positioning of the same lm change across markets?
Can the same lm have a different campaign across different cultures? Indian lms have suddenly seen a China Boom! And certain lm festivals also seems to nd a sense of resonance with lms from our country! We join this session on a fun and informative ride across cultures understanding the journeys of lms and lmmakers through the memories, gut, understanding and experiences of those experts who have been instrumental in traveling them and watched varied audiences soak them in or not reject them.
