Film Bazaar Co-production Market 2025: Full Line-Up

Waves Film Bazaar, organised by India’s National Film Development Corporation (NFDC), has selected 22 narrative projects and five documentaries for this year’s Co-production Market.

The line-up of narrative projects includes works produced by leading Indian filmmakers such as Kiran Rao, Vikramaditya Motwane, Devashish Makhija and Shaunak Sen, while the documentaries include UK-India collaboration The Maharaja And Me, directed by BAFTA award-winning filmmaker Ben Crichton.

Three of the projects – Shamed, Smash and Freedom Friends – are ‘NFDC Handpicked Focused Projects', designed to highlight cross-border collaborations, while one project, Alaric Tay’s Gloria, is sourced through a partnership with Singapore’s Asia TV Forum & Market (ATF).

Waves Film Bazaar runs November 20-24 at the Marriott Resort in Goa, alongside the International Film Festival of India (IFFI), which is taking place November 20-28 at venues across Panjim.
