About Tasveer Film Market

Tasveer Film Market is North America’s first global market dedicated to South Asian film. It runs each year in Seattle, inside the week of the Tasveer Film Festival.

The Market exists for films that are still being made. Filmmakers bring projects at any stage, from a script to a rough cut, and pitch them to the producers, financiers, distributors and programmers who can move them forward. Each edition brings together the Co-Production Market Selects program, pitch sessions for the Tasveer Film Fund, industry panels, fireside conversations and networking. The Market is open to the public. You do not need a badge or an industry title to sit in the room where these films begin.

Target Audience: Filmmakers, Producers, Industry Executives

The Tasveer Film Market curates Market Selects, Film Fund Finalists — showcasing the depth and diversity of South Asian storytelling.

With strong participation from leading companies and decision-makers, the Market accelerates co-productions, financing, and festival strategies.

The Tasveer Film Market Portal holds the list of project archive from past Tasveer Film Market editions and connects you with the filmmakers and industry delegates behind them. Currently open to All Access Badge holders from 21st Tasveer Film Festival & Market edition. Stay tuned for more ways to join.
