After 7 successful editions, the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) is now all set to welcome some of the most celebrated Indian filmmakers Shoojit Sircar , Nitesh Tiwari and Shobu Yarlagadda who will deliver various master classes at its eighth edition to be held at the heart of the continent, Melbourne.

Shoojit Sircar , who is known for his socially relevant films like Piku and Pink , will be discussing his approach to working with actors to get the desired results the producers and directors want while encouraging the actor's personal process. The session with Dangal writer and director, Nitesh Tiwari will explore how to bring real to reel and the Baahubali producer, Shobu Yarlagadda , will be talking about bringing Indian Folklore to the Celluloid.

Talking about the opportunity Nitesh Tiwari said, "It's quite an honour for me to get to share my views and experiences at such a prestigious event. I am keenly looking forward to it and I hope it will be an enriching experience, not just for the audience but for me as well." And Shoojit Sircar said, "Over the years the Melbourne film festival has really grown, the interesting part is that the jury is completely Australian which is good for our Indian films as these will be all foreign jury judging our Indian films. I'm happy that Mitu has been the whole and soul driving force for this and she is a good friend of mine. I think it is a good place to be at and a great platform to talk about my films and kind of films I do. I’m glad to be a part of this festival."
