| Welcome to Indian Film Festival Melbourne | 
             
            
              Welcome to the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne - a celebration of the biggest film industry on the planet.  
                                 
                Despite  its huge output and ever-increasing global reach, however, many film  lovers outside of India have little idea just how broad Indian cinema  really is. From Bengali art house and Malayalam thrillers to Hindi  blockbusters and Tamil action flicks, there's something for everyone,  and now you can experience them all for yourself at the Indian Film  Festival of Melbourne where a dazzling selection of 40  films is only the start. We'll also be celebrating and fostering the  many links that already exist between our multicultural city and the  most populous democracy on earth.   
                 
                In honour of  Melbourne’s vibrant production base, we will be holding a series of  Master Classes with special guests from India’s film industry: a  costume designer, writer, animator and director.                    
                 
                Some of India's  biggest stars and most respected filmmakers are coming to share their  films in person, including a series of Q&A sessions with notable  directors and producers.   
                 
                We're also providing a platform for the  next generation of filmmaking talent from India, Australia and New  Zealand with the Western Union Short Film Competition.   
                 
                So come  and celebrate the films and filmmakers of the world's biggest cinema  producer, right in the heart of Melbourne.  
                 
                Film lovers are in for a  treat! |
