Panjim, Goa – The Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association (IMPPA), the oldest and one of the most prestigious film bodies in India, is set to make waves at the 55th International Film Festival of India (IFFI), Goa. In a historic initiative led by IMPPA President Shri Abhay Sinha and his dedicated team, the association has secured a luxurious three-storey yacht as its exclusive pavilion for the event.
This state-of-the-art floating venue, parked opposite the Marriott in Goa, offers a 200-seat LED-screen-equipped banquet space, a dedicated press conference area, trailer launch facilities, and even a party hall with a dance floor and swimming pool. The yacht will serve as a vibrant hub for celeb-studded events, press interactions, muhurats, masterclasses, and networking opportunities for the film fraternity.
The IMPPA pavilion at the 55th IFFI will offer masterclasses by top industry experts, including the FIAPF head, on legal rights, IPR, copyright, and screenwriting. It will also serve as a platform for trailer launches, muhurats, and networking opportunities, fostering global collaborations and showcasing Indian cinema to international audiences.
Speaking on this initiative, Yusuf Shaikh, Senior IMPPA representative and International Film Festival Committee head, remarked, “This yacht pavilion is a game-changer for our producers and filmmakers. It provides them a glamorous yet professional platform to present their work, engage with audiences, and connect with key players from around the world. We aim to empower our members by offering them innovative opportunities to grow and thrive in the global film industry.”
IMPPA extends its gratitude to the NFDC, ESG, and IFFI for their invaluable support in making this ambitious vision a reality.
