The Film Bazaar Awards, organized by the National Films & Television Club of India
(NFTCI), aims to brought contemporary world cinema and talent to the city of
Mumbai from the coming year 2026. With its expanded vision to spotlight National
and International diaspora filmmakers, Film Bazaar aims to discover emerging talent
and contemporary cinema.
Along with celebrating cinematic excellence and bringing joy to our audiences, we
aim to facilitate the exchange of ideas and provide easy access to information
related to filmmaking, funding, film distribution, business opportunities, and strategic
marketing support for films and filmmakers. The festival also conducts a robust Year
Round Programme that acts as a hub for creators and cinephiles through
screenings, networking opportunities, access to labs and workshops for skill
development, masterclasses, and, very importantly, creating a community of cinema
lovers.
