Bharat Pavilion is organized by the Services Export Promotion Council (SEPC), Ministry of Commerce and Industry, and the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) under the aegis of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and is supported by the Consulate General of India, Hong Kong & Macau.
This initiative highlights the growing influence of Indian cinema and its expanding global footprint, promoting international collaborations and showcasing the immense potential of India’s storytelling prowess.
In the inaugural address Satwant Khanalia expressed her pride in India’s dynamic cinematic landscape. “It is an honor to launch the first-ever India Pavilion at FILMART.
