Says Balan, "I am excited about the female directors and writers who are showcasing their work at the festival in Australia. Over the past few years, a new generation of female Indian filmmakers has begun to shine on the global stage. To see women behind the camera, creating powerful pieces of art, is reflective of the positive steps the film industry in India and the subcontinent are taking."
The actress has been associated with the event since 2012.
Mitu Bhowmick Lange, festival director, is looking forward to screening a diverse range of films. "Films that explore diversity and the endless potential of humanity will be screened," he said.
