Prime Video premiered the first episode of its highly-anticipated Tamil Original series The Village, at the ongoing 54th edition of International Film Festival of India (IFFI). Asia’s oldest and India’s most iconic international film festival. The event kicked off with the series’ team, including Arya, Divya Pillai, Milind Rau and Aparna Purohit, Prime Video’s Head of Originals – India and Southeast Asia, ruling the red carpet, along with Shri Prithul Kumar, Director, IFFI, MD, NFDC Ltd., Joint Secretary (Films), Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, Govt. of India. This was followed by Aparna opening the session with a special thanks to the organizers at IFFI for creating a wonderful platform for Indian stories and storytellers to showcase their talent and body of work, and giving a brief introduction about the show to the audience.
Building the fervor even further, the series’ team engaged in a highly insightful conversation, sharing interesting anecdotes about the challenges and experiences of working on a creature horror series that has not been attempted in the streaming space so far in India, and much more! The team was then felicitated by Ankita Mishra, IAS and CEO of Entertainment Society of Goa.
“The Village transcends typical horror show tropes, creating a world beyond reality with immersive world-building, a compelling narrative, an outstanding soundtrack and unparalleled performances!.” said Aparna Purohit, head of Originals, India and Southeast Asia, Prime Video.
