I'm M N Gujar, a film curator, producer and distributor building bridges between Indian and European cinema. As the founder of Custard Apple Pictures, I lead transmedia consulting, production, and distribution to promote independent cinema across borders. I was honored with the Festival Academy Scholarship from the British Council, UK, and I’ve focused on helping Indian and South Asian filmmakers access international financing, distribution, and cross-border collaborations, especially in Europe through the Indo-German Film Week in Berlin, where I serve as Lead Festival Programmer and International Partner. Today I continue to nurture cross-cultural storytelling by mentoring emerging filmmakers, supporting debuts, and organizing festivals, labs, and workshops across borders. I’m a passionate advocate for film criticism and education, sponsoring awards like the FIPRESCI-India Grand Prix and running film criticism and filmmaking workshops to empower the next generation of storytellers. Beyond these efforts, I curate and distribute South Asian cinema to global audiences and collaborate on feature and documentary projects from Brazil, Mongolia, Bangladesh, Germany, Sri Lanka, and India.…I'm M N Gujar, a film curator, producer and distributor building bridges between Indian and European cinema.
