These films were divided into categories such as World Cinema, Hollywood Blockbusters, Retrospectives, and even a Late Night Showcase. Directors, actors, and industry professionals also discussed the art of filmmaking in masterclasses and panel discussions.
Now, as the Red Lorry Film Festival gears up for 2025, it’s expanding to not just one, but two iconic cities: Mumbai and Hyderabad.
