Cannes 2023: Fearless producers are making all the difference, says Anurag Kashyap

The Hindu  

Anurag Kashyap, whose neo-noir thriller Kennedy is set to premiere at midnight on Wednesday at the 76th Cannes Film Festival, believes that the current upswing in independent cinema on the subcontinent is being fuelled by fearless young producers willing to put their money where their mouth is. “It is a new crop of producers who have made all the difference,” the Mumbai-based filmmaker said as he kicked off a panel discussion in the Canadian Pavilion here on the theme of ‘South Asian Stories in a Global Film Market’. Talking of cultural cross-pollination, New York-based Bangladeshi-origin film producer Anadil Hossain said: “It was Bollywood that gave me my first entry into Hollywood.” Among her American production credits are Wes Anderson’s The Darjeeling Limited and Doug Liman’s Fair Game. “This year,” she said, “is the 20th anniversary of the first Bollywood film that I was a part of, ‘Kal Ho Na Ho’, directed by Nikhil Advani. I genuinely think the best of our creativity comes out in adversity.” In Flames Kashyap said, “is so much more than a moody horror film.
