BookMyShow’s Red Lorry Film Festival Returns
The first edition of the Red Lorry Film Festival in 2024 brought together over 100 films in more than 10 languages. 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. From March 21st to 23rd, Mumbai will host the festival at state-of-the-art cinemas, while Hyderabad will join the celebrations under a new banner: Red Lorry Film Festival: Parallel Verse.
One of the most thrilling additions this year is the Competition Segment, designed to spotlight the extraordinary talent and artistry in filmmaking. This new feature will shine a light on The Front Runners (Best Film) and Fresh Frames (Best Debut Film) categories, recognising the very best in groundbreaking storytelling and debut filmmakers.
