Naman Ramachandran Curator, programmer and producer Jitin Hingorani has joined India’s National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) in the newly created position of head of programming for Film Bazaar, South Asia’s largest content market.

Hingorani reports into Prithul Kumar, joint secretary of films at India’s Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. Leena Khobragade, formerly Film Bazaar director, now serves as artistic director of the market. “All my life’s work as an Indian American serial entrepreneur over the past 25 years has been leading up to this monumental role,” Hingorani told Variety. “As a former entertainment reporter, movie publicist, and film festival curator and director in Texas and New York City, my PR/marketing, media relations, and programming skills will be cumulatively utilized as our team organizes the most relevant, comprehensive, and accessible co-production/distribution market and film bazaar in all of Asia.

We are ramping up our efforts to invite the biggest and brightest film buyers, sellers, distributors and programmers from around the international film fraternity to Goa this November.

The 17th edition of the NFDC Film Bazaar will be forward-thinking in its approach and trendsetting in its delivery, as we shine a global spotlight on the most promising independent cinema from all over incredible India.” Hingorani is also the co-founder and co-producer of South Asian House, which launched this year and curated original programming for SXSW Austin in March and Tribeca in June.
