6 Indian films are screening at #Cannes this year, & the projects are split across two entirely separate tracks. To understand India's actual footprint, it helps to look at the difference between the curated Official Selection & Marché du Film (the market).

Out of 6, 2 films are part of the curated #OfficialSelection:

🎬 Shadows of the Moonless Night (Dir. Mehar Malhotra) - Selected for 'La Cinef' (student shorts).

(3/3) The crew relies on the radiation-tested Nikon D5, the newer Z9 mirrorless, and modified GoPro cameras to capture the shots while O2O sends them to Earth!

At #BroadcastMediaCinemaExpo, this is what excites us, commercial tech redefining the future of broadcast.

(2/3) The reason behind the clear images: Orion Artemis II Optical Communications system, known as O2O.

Unlike traditional radio communications, O2O uses laser tech to transmit data to Earth at up to 260 Mbps. That's fast enough to stream 4K videos directly from the Moon!

India has just one 15/70mm IMAX at @GujScienceCity, but the appetite for more is undeniable!

At #BMCExpo, we see it clearly: Premium format investment in India is no longer an experiment, it’s a proven bet.

True IMAX is the next big move!

[Broadcast Media Cinema Expo @BMCEIndia]

#ProjectHailMary just proved something big for Indian cinema!🧵
Opening with just 5 #IMAX screens → 60+ IMAX shows within 2 days.

This is how audience demand changed industry dynamics.
Yet audience conversations around the 'true' IMAX experience are growing louder.

1/3👇

[Broadcast Media Cinema Expo @BMCEIndia]

Most Indian IMAX screens use a 1.90:1 ratio, but the "True" 1.43:1 format offers 25% more image!

With fans already demanding the "True IMAX" experience, this infra gap paves the way to a huge, untapped market of Indian fans ready for the next level of cinema tech.

Fans are using #Higgsfield & Kling AI to rewrite the climax of #Dhurandhar2 🎬
Does AI enhance storytelling, or dilute the director’s vision- What's your take?

Conversations like this will take centre stage at Broadcast, Media & Cinema Expo 2026.

Best #FilmEditing Oscar: #OneBattleAfterAnother

Andy Jurgensen’s win is a nod to the art of "invisible" editing. Using a VistaVision workflow, the team balanced a massive narrative with surgical precision. The edit suite is where the story truly finds its rhythm.
