New Delhi [India], May 21:<\/strong> In a moment of immense pride for the Indian film industry, Mr. Abhay Sinha, President of the Indian Motion Picture Producers\u2019 Association (IMPPA), has been unanimously elected as the Vice President of FIAPF (International Federation of Film Producers Associations) and FIAPF Headquarters ASBL, the global apex body representing film producers from over 30 countries at the FIAPF Annual General Assembly held on 17th May 2025 in Cannes, France.<\/p>\n

Under Mr. Abhay Sinha\u2019s leadership, IMPPA, which has been in existence since 1937, has grown\u00a0into a dynamic and internationally active organization, supporting Indian producers and\u00a0filmmakers both at home and abroad. He has worked tirelessly to improve the status and\u00a0recognition of Indian content creators.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One of his key achievements includes leading IMPPA\u2019s participation at the Cannes Film Festival for\u00a0the second year running in 2025. More than 40 Indian films and delegates took part, showcasing\u00a0India\u2019s rich and diverse cinema on a global platform. He also contributed as a speaker on the panel\u00a0discussion at the Bharat Pavilion, titled \u201cChanging Paradigm of Film Screening: Theatres to OTT,\u00a0Digital Platforms and Beyond,\u201d offering valuable insights into the future of film viewing and\u00a0distribution.<\/p>\n

Beyond international engagements, Mr. Abhay Sinha has played a vital role in shaping better film\u00a0policies across India, including improved subsidy systems in Maharashtra, Bihar, Gujarat, Uttar\u00a0Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and other states. He has also worked to make Film\u00a0Certification easier and pushed for greater industry representation in national film bodies.<\/p>\n

He has addressed critical industry concerns, including Virtual Print Fees (VPF), exhibition\u00a0challenges, and taxation reforms to ease financial burdens on Producers and Distributors. In\u00a0addition, he has also actively raised concerns about the proposed 100% tariff by the United States\u00a0on foreign entertainment content. Through his public statements and writings, he has highlighted\u00a0the threat such tariffs pose to cultural exchange and the global reach of Indian cinema, urging for\u00a0fair trade policies that protect the creative and economic interests of Indian filmmakers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As the founder of Yashi Films, Mr. Abhay Sinha has produced over 150 feature films in various\u00a0languages and more than 5,000 TV episodes. He is the creator of the International Bhojpuri Film\u00a0Awards (IBFA), the first and only global award platform for Bhojpuri cinema, which has been\u00a0hosted in multiple countries and supported by Indian tourism bodies. These events have taken\u00a0Indian regional cinema to international audiences and given Bhojpuri artists a global stage.<\/p>\n

Mr. Abhay Sinha\u2019s election as FIAPF Vice President is a defining moment for Indian cinema,\u00a0marking a stronger voice for Indian producers on the global stage and opening new opportunities\u00a0for collaboration and growth.<\/p>\n
