The first and only annual Australian Film
Festival of India marks the launch of An Australian Film Initiative
and will take place in partnership with FICCI-Frames, March 23rd
- 27th, 2011 in Mumbai, India.

The festival will celebrate Australian screen culture
by showcasing Australian cinema and strengthening the bond between the
Australian and Indian Film Industries by way of creating commercial and
creative opportunities and relationships between them.  This will create an ongoing and much needed
platform for both countries to explore mutual benefits and collaborations.

The festival will be featuring a rich slate of
Australian 2010 feature film releases, a package of Australian shorts, and
a retrospective of renowned Australian director Bill Bennett.

A delegation of Australian speakers at FRAMES
2011 will also be participating in two round table intensives focusing on
investment and distribution and will be joined by invite-only Indian
entertainment executives.

To mark the inaugural festival, a “Guide to Australian Film Services” is
being released specifically for the Indian market.  This guide and the
delegation raise an opportunity for Australian film services and professionals
to market and promote themselves in the world’s biggest film industry - India.

To participate in the festival delegation, host a
stall at FRAMES 2011 or advertising opportunities in the official guide, please
email  the Festival Coordinator, Paulette
Munoz by Friday 4th March 2011.
