...to Britain. What is the effect on the Indian film industry of such a worldwide audience? What is the effect on the UK and Indian industries of filming in both countries? What kinds of new stories are being told as a result of this new way of working? We will look at the Diaspora stories that are now being told, reflecting the globalisation of the Indian population. The panel will also explore the economics of filming in the UK and the possibilities of using UK Asian talent when making films here.
...to Britain
The year 2000 saw no less than 12 Indian films shot or part-shot in the UK.
This is partly due to the liberalisation of the Indian film industry, but
also to the better opportunities for showing Indian films in the UK.
The
Asian population in the UK and around the world is a growing audience with
demanding tastes.
