Rima Das & Zoya Akhtar at IFFM 2019 I Rajeev Masand

At the tenth edition of the #IndianFilmFestivalofMelbourne (IFFM) in August 2019, filmmakers #RimaDas and #ZoyaAkhtar sat down to talk about how they pour their life’s experiences and observations into their films. Rima, who is the very definition of ‘indie’, and Zoya who works with big stars on big budgets, couldn’t be more dissimilar on the surface, but both make films that come from a deeply personal place within them. They discussed the challenges and excitement of making movies in the current landscape with #RajeevMasand.
