Film Conclave 26 May, London

End: Monday, May 26, 2025 9:00PM

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. Film Conclave is excited to launch its first ever India-focused film co-production market, bringing together filmmakers with funders. It is open to filmmakers all around the world producing content that celebrates India or its diaspora.

Film Conclave is being organised in collaboration with ReelN, leaders in South Asian film curation and event production and Lotus Visual Productions, a platform empowering performance artists and filmmakers through sponsorships, grants, and production opportunities.

We aim to provide a platform where the 'global Indian' origin film industry can find genuine partnerships and financing opportunities for projects in development. We invite film and scripted TV pitches from the UK, India and further afar, including from the Indian diaspora. It will be followed by an exclusive drinks reception with over 200 filmmakers, funders, actors and production houses. We invite film and scripted TV pitches from the UK, India and further afar, including from the Indian diaspora, to explore investor, producing partnership, festival and buyer possibilities. We are open to accepting submissions across various categories which includes feature films, both narrative and documentary, scripted and unscripted television projects, work-in-progress projects such as unfinished feature films and completed films. 

We’ll select 20 submissions to come along on the day, informing you by the end of April 2025. You’ll 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.
