Following the pledge of Basil Content Media of sponsoring 5 Indian first and second-time filmmakers to Platform Busan, a 4-day networking and learning initiative during the Busan International Film Festival, the company today announced the selected participants from India.
Representing the country will be FTII graduates Piyush Dinkar Thakur (Kyoto Filmmakers Lab [scholarship] winner) and Heer Ganjwala (Producer – Ralang Road), along with Marathi filmmaker-producer Gargi Kulkarni, Malayalam filmmaker Vidhu Vincent, and Documentary filmmaker Antariksh Jain.
The five shortlisted participants were chosen from over a hundred and twenty applications that were received to be sponsored to attend the 4 day initiative of Platform Busan from 14-18 October 2018.
Speaking about it, Founder, Basil Content Media, Vivek Kajaria said:
“It is heartening to see such amazing talent all around and such strong applications. Unfortunately, we could only sponsor and send 5 and we are happy that these filmmakers selected also represent some of the best talents in our country. Here’s hoping they are able to make use of the platform that Busan film festival provides in their respective careers”
