IFFI Goa 2025, 11: Film selection--The Good (rare), the Bad (many) and the Ugly (too many)
Beginning where I left off.
My Daughter’s Hair/Iran/2025/Hesam Farahmand
Curious and off-beat title, but only in the English version. In Farsi (Persian), it is named after its lead character, a girl called Raha. Even that could be a bit of a misnomer, because it is as much the story of Raha’s father and brother, as it is of Raha. Interestingly, another film in the competition section is ti...
IFFI Goa 2025, 10: Film selection--The Good (rare), the Bad (many) and the Ugly (too many)
Films that are screened at IFFI are selected by a large committee that takes several weeks to vet the available movies, entered in the festival. Each category of films has a different committee assigned to it. The Preview Committee (sometimes referred to as the Selection Jury) for the International Section at IFFI 2025, which selects the international (non-Indian) films that are screened at IFFI, compri...
IFFI Goa 2025, 09: Does IFFI need the media, or does the media need IFFI, that is the question
This is not the first time that media has been maltreated at IFFI. It will also not be the last time. The only way for media to avoid being humiliated and maltreated is to not go to cover IFFI as a media-person. It would appear that the media needs IFFI, and that IFFI does not need the media. Or, at least, it does not want media to be treated well. Cinema is a medium, and taught at hundreds of film-...

The Art of Selling the Story.
AV campaigns remain at the heart of content marketing, shaping audience perception long before the launch.
From cinematic trailers that build anticipation to bite-sized teasers, behind the scenes reels and social promos, these campaigns do more than advertise - they ignite conversation, fuel social buzz and start the emotional connection with the film, game, season or series.
