On day two of the Mumbai International Film Festival (MIFF), Ketan Mehta and Jackky Bhagnani spoke on animation film evolution.
The Mumbai International Film Festival (MIFF) held panel talks, workshops, and movie announcements on day two. A panel discussion covered the evolution of animation films and its attraction to kids and adults.
Ketan Mehta, Jackky Bhagnani, Vaibhav Kumareshwar, and Mohammad Kherandish were the panelists.
Animation and its global market were discussed. Animation filmmaker Mohammad Kheirandish
expressed his desire to export his animations. “We like content that shows Iranian essence and reality to the international market…Most of my work uses international language. Not specific to Iran or Iranians. He claimed he wanted the world to like it. to
said India lacks global animation ambition. “Our main issue is that all our channels and producers are international companies targeting the Indian market. Their target market is domestic. Our challenge is a vicious cycle: creating for the domestic market has limited resonance outside the country. Because all these multinational channels are entering your market, and creating for your local market closes the worldwide market. Break out of this. We need global ambition and thinking. All of us are global citizens. We’ve not fostered a global perspective or creative ambition.”
We spoke with Jackky alone. Jackky says the stage talk is “rejuvenating” and wants to work in animation. There is want to enter animated space. We already do that. Since we intend to develop feature films, I was delighted to talk to all the outstanding filmmakers. Jaccky says, “I’ve learned so much about animation today that I want to use in the future.”
Animation has a global audience, but Indian filmmakers have yet to realize its full potential. Jackky says, “Everything is a subject what your market is. Toh main 1000 crore ki film bana du. Your recovery from that? Your ROI on that? Your market for that? Don’t know. Today, we examined our animation inexperience. We are approximately 100 years old in live activity. We don’t know what will work or not. We can innovate in animation while being new. Animation’s beauty and why I’m drawn to it now is expression. Not just the expression. One may dream and create anything in animation. Looking forward to the space.”
