*Special Message:*

The statue of Dadasaheb Phalke, the father of Indian cinema, is yet to be installed in any state of India. Today, the film industry celebrates 112 years of cinema, but his image is not widely represented in film halls, studios, or homes of industry professionals. These points were raised during the event. However, it was promised by all the esteemed dignitaries present, including MPs, Ministers, and State representatives, that Dadasaheb Phalke’s statue will soon be installed in various states, including a 9-foot statue in Guwahati, Assam, supported by Shri Rameshwar Teli Ji and Shri Lord Das Ji. This marks a significant step for the film industry and DPIAF.

“When Passion Becomes Profession, Excellence Is Inevitable”: Resul Pookutty At Indian Institute Of Creative Skills’ Delhi Creators Summit...

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” – Nelson Mandela

India’s creative and educational landscape witnessed a defining moment as the Indian Institute of Creative Skills (IICS) hosted the three-day Delhi Creators Summit in the capital, celebrating the immense potential of youth in media, content creation, and digital storytelling. The summit underscored the urgent need for skill-based education aligned with global standards and industry relevance.

Oscar and BAFTA-winning sound designer and Padma Shri awardee Resul Pookutty, who made the nation proud with his Academy Award for Slumdog Millionaire, addressed the summit with heartfelt conviction. “When passion becomes profession, excellence is inevitable,” he declared, urging India’s youth to look inward, identify their true calling, and pursue it relentlessly. Pookutty, who has since worked on landmark films like 2.0, collaborated internationally, and contributed to immersive sound technologies, continues to mentor sound professionals and participate in global forums shaping the future of cinema.

He shared how every child possesses a unique skill but often lacks the opportunity or exposure to recognize and nurture it. Societal or familial pressures often dictate career choices, while true growth happens when one is trained in what they love. He acknowledged the role of the Government of India in recognizing the importance of skill development since 2012 and emphasized the significance of platforms like IICS in shaping a generation of self-aware, creative professionals.

Ved Mani Tiwari, CEO of the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) and MD of NSDC International, echoed this vision and spoke of Indian Institute of Creative Skills as a key pillar of the Skill India Mission. He emphasized that the institute is committed to identifying and enhancing the capabilities of every student, offering world-class infrastructure, expert mentorship, and certifications that carry industry weight not only in India but globally.

Dr. (Hon) Mohit Soni, CEO of the Media & Entertainment Skills Council (MESC), elaborated on IICS’s capacity to serve as a global launchpad for India’s creative youth. He highlighted that students will receive industry-oriented training across several creative domains, ranging from performance, sound and music, media management, digital storytelling, communication, and experiential event creation. The institute is designed to ensure that creativity is met with commercial viability and global employability.

Filmmaker Ketaki Pandit added that every video creator today is essentially a filmmaker. The objective, she said, is to refine this raw talent into world-class content creators by providing them the right tools, training, and technical excellence. She stressed that creativity can be an economic engine, and Indian Institute of Creative Skills will ensure its students are empowered both artistically and financially.

Internationally acclaimed makeup artist Yasmin Rogers, who has worked across Bollywood and global cinema, addressed the increasing demand for skilled makeup professionals, especially for on-location shoots. As a mentor, she assured that students graduating from Indian Institute  of Creative Skills will be of high quality and ready to take on both Indian and international assignments, thanks to the institute’s stringent quality and placement standards.

Dr. Akhil Kumar, the driving force behind the Delhi Creators Summit, shared that the event was deliberately inclusive—featuring influencers with millions of followers alongside budding creators. The summit fostered an environment of mutual learning and growth, allowing content creators to evolve collectively. With over 80 creators in attendance and many more showing interest, he said the response was proof of how the content creation ecosystem is thriving. He also noted that government bodies are now recognizing and integrating social media creators into their mainstream campaigns and programs.

The Indian Institute of Creative Skills is not just a training center—it is a vision of modern India where creativity is nurtured, talent is certified, and dreams are transformed into careers with global credibility. As India steps confidently into the future of content, media, and digital storytelling, the institute stands as a beacon of excellence, ready to shape the creators of tomorrow.

Admissions are now open for limited seats in Delhi and Ahmedabad campus. For further details, check out https://www.iicsindia.org/

Indian Cinema’s Global Leap: IMPPA’s Grand Return To Cannes 2025...

Mumbai: A historic moment awaits the Indian film industry as the Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association (IMPPA) officially announces its grand return to the 78th Cannes Film Festival (Cannes 2025), scheduled to take place from May 13 to 24, 2025 in France. This initiative will provide a global platform for Indian films, further strengthening their presence in the international market.

Building on 2024’s Success, A Bigger Move in 2025

IMPPA made its remarkable debut at the 77th Cannes Film Festival in 2024, marking a significant milestone for Indian cinema. The association’s participation was a major success, with:

*  55 Indian delegates representing IMPPA.

*  12 Indian films showcased at the festival.

*  3 Indian films successfully sold in the international market.

This achievement opened new doors for Indian filmmakers, offering unparalleled exposure, networking, and distribution opportunities on a global scale. Now, IMPPA is set to take this momentum forward and expand its participation at Cannes 2025.

Why Cannes 2025 is a Game Changer for Indian Cinema

The Cannes Film Festival is the world’s most prestigious film event, attracting industry professionals from across the globe. In 2024, Cannes featured:

237 films (shorts and features) from 56 countries.

Nearly 39,000 attendees from 160 nations, including top industry delegates, buyers, distributors, and global media.

Over 300 exhibition stalls representing the world’s most prominent film markets.

Cannes remains the largest and most influential platform for film sales, distribution, and international collaborations, making it a must-attend event for Indian filmmakers looking to take their projects to a global audience.

IMPPA’s Key Initiatives for Cannes 2025

To make participation more affordable and accessible for Indian filmmakers, IMPPA has secured a dedicated stall at the Cannes Film Market. This move will allow Indian producers and filmmakers to promote their films at a fraction of the cost, eliminating the need for expensive individual stalls.

Additionally, IMPPA is offering:

*  Market Premieres for Indian films.

*  Exclusive Film Launches and Networking Events.

*  Delegate Registration and Support for Festival Formalities.

*  Seamless Assistance in Sales and Distribution Opportunities.

As the only Indian body facilitating Cannes participation for its members, IMPPA is committed to providing the best possible platform for Indian cinema on the world stage.

What This Means for Indian Filmmakers

With this initiative, Indian filmmakers – including independent creators, emerging directors, and production houses – will gain direct access to global distributors, investors, and audiences. This will boost Indian films’ international visibility, open doors for co-productions, and increase opportunities for overseas distribution.

IMPPA President Abhay Sinha expressed his excitement, stating:

“The Cannes Film Festival is the ultimate global platform for cinema, offering unmatched exposure and networking opportunities. IMPPA’s goal is to ensure that Indian filmmakers get the recognition they deserve on the international stage.”

Conclusion

IMPPA’s Cannes 2025 participation is a game-changing move for Indian cinema. By making international opportunities more accessible, this initiative will help Indian films reach new markets, forge global partnerships, and elevate their status worldwide.

With Indian cinema’s growing influence, Cannes 2025 will be another milestone moment, proving that Indian films are not just meant for Bollywood but for the global entertainment industry.
