Celebrating the New Age of Cinema with Global Visionaries
Kolkata, India – June 2025 – The prestigious Fest5 International Film Festival (F5IFF) is proud to announce the appointment of Amol Bhagat, Indian film director, as a member of its distinguished jury panel for the upcoming edition in Kolkata.
Dedicated to honoring the essence of independent cinema, F5IFF serves as a global hub for filmmakers, artists, and film enthusiasts to come together and celebrate the evolving language of cinema. The festival fosters a creative space where boundaries are broken, stories are shared, and voices from every corner of the globe are amplified.
A Platform for Global Storytelling
The Fest5 International Film Festival is renowned for its mission to connect independent filmmakers from across continents and offer them a powerful platform to exhibit their work to a diverse global audience. F5IFF champions artistic freedom, cultural exchange, and creative experimentation, encouraging storytellers to push the boundaries of traditional cinema.
As a jury member, Amol Bhagat brings his sharp cinematic insight, directorial experience, and passion for innovative storytelling to the forefront. His involvement highlights the festival’s commitment to recognizing emerging voices and providing fair, insightful, and globally relevant evaluations of the films in competition.
“Cinema is a universal language, and platforms like Fest5 allow us to celebrate its diversity and power. I am honored to be part of a festival that uplifts independent voices and connects creative minds from all over the world,” said Amol Bhagat.
Empowering Independent Cinema
F5IFF isn’t just a film festival—it’s a launching pad for emerging filmmakers. With limited resources and fewer distribution channels, independent creators often face challenges in gaining visibility. F5IFF bridges this gap by offering recognition, exposure, and meaningful networking opportunities.
Through film screenings, panels, masterclasses, and curated networking sessions, F5IFF enables collaborations that can drive the future of filmmaking. It also ensures that the global film community stays informed about the latest updates, opportunities, and festival news via its dedicated filmmaker channel.
Looking Ahead
With Amol Bhagat on the jury panel, F5IFF 2025 is set to uphold its vision of inclusivity, innovation, and cinematic excellence. The event promises to be a confluence of artistic brilliance and a celebration of the ever-expanding world of independent cinema.
