A Recap
Celebrating its 10th edition this year, the annual NFDC Film Bazaar has become a beacon for budding filmmakers from South Asia.

It is observed that many well educated, well settled and still active singles (whether unmarried, widow/widower, divorcee) wish life afresh as a second innings as they either find isolated and or abused even if living in a family. They feel depressed and loneliness and wonder how they can be happy, loving and caring with a compatible life partner in the golden years of their life.

For selecting films which are not up to the International Fest standard, one reason may be that IFFI fest is held at the fag end of the year , Most award winning films in Festivals all over the World get seen/ sold in other International Fests . Even in India al regional Fests get over wherein Cine buffs have an opportunity to watch .
