South Asia Forum for Art and Creative Heritage (Safach)

The South Asia Screen Network (SASN) is a groundbreaking platform that will serve as the first-ever avenue for fostering collaboration and interaction within the film fraternity across South-East Asia. SASN aims to facilitate partnerships in joint ventures, co-productions, distribution, line-production, technical support, and provide internship opportunities for aspiring filmmakers. Workshops and other collaborative initiatives will contribute to building a robust network and fostering a more extensive and fruitful relationship among filmmakers.
This versatile platform originates from the belief that Cinema and Art in South Asia are intertwined, drawing inspiration and nurturing each other in sensibility and craftsmanship. Given the shared geographical, linguistic, and historical legacy, there was a genuine need for a forum that facilitates creative connections. This initiative aims to enrich the art of cinematic storytelling significantly.

SAFACH is set to launch the inaugural edition of the Indus Valley International Film Festival (IVIFF), marking South-East Asia's first traveling international film festival. The grand event, scheduled to take place in New Delhi, aims to be a remarkable celebration of art, featuring films from various South and South-East Asian nations.
This ambitious film festival will feature:
• Films from all South & South-East Asian nations
• Panel discussions with distinguished filmmakers from participating nations
• Workshops on Script Writing, Fiction Film-making & Documentary Film-making
Eminent film personalities from these nations will warmly engage in interactions with the festival visitors. The festival envisions becoming a dynamic platform for cultural exchange and creative collaboration within the South and South-East Asian filmmaking community.
