Tasveer

For 21 years, Tasveer has created space for South Asian storytellers and stories that deserve to travel beyond borders.

This year, that conversation reaches Cannes. As the host of the only official South Asian panel at the Cannes Film Festival’s Marché du Film, Tasveer brings together voices from cinema, technology, AI, financing, co-productions, and global film markets to explore the future of South Asian storytelling.

Because representation is not just about visibility. It is about access, investment, influence, and opportunity.

South Asian cinema was never niche. The world is simply catching up.

Featuring Arathi Sethumadhavan, User Research Scientist on Google’s Technology & Society team, as part of Tasveer’s official South Asian panel at Cannes 2026.

From creativity to access, AI is reshaping how stories are made, funded, and discovered.
