In a noteworthy initiative aimed at restoring Jammu & Kashmir’s historic cinematic stature, the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) J&K UT Council hosted the inaugural CII J&K Film Festival, marking a renewed push to position the region as a vibrant centre of Indian cinema.
The festival brought together an eclectic mix of filmmakers, artists, producers, policymakers, and cultural voices, fostering dialogue on unlocking local creative talent, expanding opportunities for content production, and strengthening J&K as a dynamic hub for film-making with sustained cultural and economic dividends.
The event signaled a broader vision for the Union Territory—one that blends cultural legacy with contemporary creative ambition and positions J&K firmly on India’s cinematic map.
