Kochi, the commercial capital of Kerala, will host the Indywood Film Market (IFM) and All Lights India International Film Festival (ALIIFF) 2015 from November 15 to 21.

ALIIFF 2015 is a unique platform for the global film industry to showcase excellence in film-making and to interact with artistes and technicians of world cinema.

This event will also be a platform for what is being touted as South Asia's largest film market called Indywood Film Market, that will facilitate production and distribution deals of international films for the Indian market and sales of Indian cinema in the foreign market.

The event is organised by All Lights Film Services, a leading film services organisation promoted by All Lights Film Magazine.

 

Sohan Roy, who directed "DAM 999", is the founder-director of ALIIFF and IFM.

"ALIIFF 2015 will have leading artistes and technicians of international repute attending the festival. The Indywood Film Market offers a wide opportunity for filmmakers and sponsors to become a part of South Asia's biggest film souk where sales and promotions of international and Indian cinema will be made simple," said Roy.

Film submission to ALIIFF has already begun and will remain open for different categories of films from around the globe until September 30 at www.aliiff.com.

Short films, documentaries as well as features will be accepted as entries.

Golden Leaf Awards will be presented to winners in the various categories.
