Film Conclave 2025

The UK is a home-away-from-home for Indian film and entertainment opportunities.The Film Conclave is an annual conversation about Indian content, and the business of entertainment.

We will be holding our first ever film co- production market, bringing together filmmakers with funders. It is open to filmmakers all around the world producing content that celebrates India.

It will be followed by an exclusive drinks reception with over 200 film makers, producers, funders, casting agents, actors and others from the world of film in the UK, India and elsewhere.

Why Attend

We are organising this in collaboration with ReelN, the British film network with diversity and inclusion at its core. We aim to provide a platform where the global Indian film industry can find genuine partnerships and financing opportunities for projects in development.

Earlier this year, we invited feature length film and documentaries pitches from the UK, India and further afar, including from the Indian diaspora, to explore investor, producing partnership, festival and buyer possibilities. We’re in the process of selecting 20 submissions to come along on the day, informing successsful film makers by the end of April 2025.

They will get dedicated support from our team to organise meetings with potential investors, producers, studios, broadcast networks, sales agents, distributors, public funds, digital platforms, government and legal experts to help you tap into UK-India Coproduction incentives, specialist accountants and others.
