Shiladitya Bora, Film producer and Director, on Film Policies & Cinema Driving Tourism | 8th Global

Shiladitya Bora, Film producer and Director, on Film Policies & Cinema Driving Tourism | 8th Global Shiladitya Bora at the 8th Global Film Tourism Conclave in Mumbai, focusing on film policies across Indian states and their impact on film tourism. Bora highlights the gap between policy formulation and implementation, emphasizing that many states have film policies only on paper, which fail to support filmmakers in practice. He shares his challenging experience of trying to claim subsidies and clearances for a film shot in 2021, which remained unresolved even five years later despite multiple appeals to government authorities. This inefficiency leaves filmmakers disillusioned and discourages future projects in those regions. Contrasting this, Bora praises Maharashtra’s film policy, which offers substantial subsidies and incentives, particularly rewarding award-winning projects and female filmmakers, making it one of the most film-friendly states. He also notes Madhya Pradesh as an emerging state with promising film policies based on feedback from peers. The conversation further explores cinema’s role in boosting tourism. Bora explains that cinema not only showcases picturesque locales but also acts as a gateway to unfamiliar destinations, inspiring viewers to visit these places. He cites examples like Arunachal Pradesh’s portrayal in Bollywood films and the influence of Yash Chopra’s films on popularizing European destinations among Indian audiences. Ultimately, Bora underscores cinema’s powerful role in driving tourism by exposing viewers to diverse locations and cultures through storytelling. 🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more travel insights and destination guides! 🎥 Other Recommended Videos / Playlists https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8lnsQMrJiEetixtqMjk3x_KBL1rECx-M&si=ApOHJW90uvEXdTiF https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8lnsQMrJiEclBq3cl9WKaRq4AmMVArVz&si=hV5dEHG4v4mrfuf3 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8lnsQMrJiEcGMfdtLwx8U8tNCBcyESy6&si=zQC5cM1qPO62ioXs Travel And Tour World is more than a magazine – it’s a global trade communication platform for the travel and hospitality ecosystem.
