“ I don’t understand India. It’s too big.”
“I don’t understand Europe. It’s too complicated.”
I’ve heard some version of this many times in Berli, that we decided to do something about it.

@storicultureworld @root.ax is launching India-Europe Creative Futures Jam at IndoGerman Filmweek in Berlin.

A small, curated (and curious!) room of 40 people working across film, series, creative media, culture, tech and creative enterprise — all interested in building better bridges between India and Europe.

This isn’t a pitch, just a Jam :)
If you’re interested or Curious please DM!

A Big shout out to Stephan Ottenbruch for keeping the IndoGerman flame burning and being generous with offering the Oval room at the Babylon!
