India has one of the world’s richest and most prolific film industries. Throughout 2017, we celebrate the diversity of Indian filmmaking and films about India, from Bollywood to Tollywood (home of Telugu and Bengali cinema) – in cinemas and online. Our programme will include previews of the biggest new movies, independent cinema and restorations of classic titles, and opportunities to meet stars and filmmakers.
