India’s G-20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant said Indian films reflect the soft power of the country as well as its unity and diversity. He was speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the G20 Film Festival organised by the India International Centre (IIC) in collaboration with the G20 Secretariat, Ministry of External Affairs.
“I have been a great believer in Indian films. Our G20 presidency is ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’: One Earth, One Family, One Future… Indian films truly reflect the soft power of India. More than anything else, they reflect the unity and diversity of India. And, there’s no better way to start a film festival than to show Satyajit Ray’s ‘Pather Panchali’,” Kant said.
