The Waves Film Bazaar expects a growing attendance for its 2025 Goa edition
Waves Film Bazaar (WFB) is thrilled to announce the 19th edition which will take place from November 20–24, 2025 at the Marriott Resort, Goa.
Waves Film Bazaar is one of the largest film markets in Asia, with a specific focus on South Asia cinema, running alongside the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) to be held from November 20-28, 2025. Waves Film Bazaar offers a varied range of activities that provide access to the greatest of Indian and South Asian talents and films.

The Co-Production Market, which seeks co-production partners from all around the world, is one of Waves Film Bazaar’s main highlights. Waves Film Bazaar invites calls for entries for Feature & Documentary projects for its 2025 edition.
Since its launch in 2007, The Co-Production Market (CPM) provides a platform for curated projects offering filmmakers opportunities to gain both financial and artistic support through co-production.
Each year, selected projects are given multiple opportunities to connect with Indian and international producers, distributors, sales agents, and financiers, facilitating collaboration and co-productions.
The Co-Production market aims to unite film professionals globally, expanding opportunities for international partnerships.
