Tasveer Film Festival and Market

19th Tasveer Film Festival Returns with a Groundbreaking Initiative - North America's First South Asian-Focused Global Film Market, October 15-20, 2024. The Tasveer Film Market is a groundbreaking initiative designed to reshape financial and distribution models for South Asian filmmakers worldwide. With a focus on expanding the reach and fostering collaboration, the market will host events such as the Co-Production Market, Tasveer Film Fund pitches (supported by Netflix), industry panels, and networking sessions. These activities aim to empower creatives by connecting them with producing partners, distributors, and global platforms. As the only Oscar® qualifying South Asian Film Festival in the world in the short film category, Tasveer has championed social change through the power of South Asian storytelling. This year’s Tasveer Film Festival (TFF), from October 15-20, 2024, is a testament to that commitment and will showcase 110 films including 36 world premieres, 28 North American premieres, 45 Seattle premieres, and 19 feature films from 15 countries (Bangladesh, Canada, France, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Denmark, Germany, India, United Kingdom, United States, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Portugal, and Sweden). There are 91 short films that are a part of the class of the 2024 edition with 35 world premieres, 22 North American premieres, and 33 Seattle premieres. Some of the impressive short films in the lineup are Yassa Khan’s Pink (World Premiere), Rippen Sindher’s Flight 182 (N. American Premiere), Tathagata Ghosh’s If (Seattle premiere), and more. 52 films of the 110 films showcased at the festival are by women, trans, and non-binary directors. This year the festival boasts of prolific jury members who will be in attendance such as Oscar-nominated filmmaker Shaunak Sen (All That Breathes), actor Omi Vaidya (3 Idiots) and director Geeta V. Patel (House of the Dragon). Some of the selected films that reflect the vision and filmmaking artistry of South Asian filmmakers and important issues from the subcontinent and diaspora are Payal Kapadia’s feature narrative debut, All We Imagine as Light - the 2024 Cannes Grand Prix winner, Iram Parveen Bilal’s social media true story, Wakhri, Nik Dodani’s LGBTQIA+ semi-autobiographical drama, Blue Boy, and more. The 19th edition of the Tasveer Film Festival will feature engaging fireside chats, post-film Q&As with filmmakers from around the world, and a remarkable lineup of industry talents.
