This year, we are honoured to complete a full circle of the world’s major festivals. Sundance, Berlin, Cannes, Venice, and TIFF - colouring stories that connected across continents “Bridge” has always meant more to us than just a name. It’s about connection between filmmaker and audience, between what’s imagined and what’s seen, between emotion and image. This year, we got to build those bridges over and over again, with some of the most inspiring storytellers we’ve ever met. To every director, cinematographer, producer, and crew who trusted us: thank you. You brought us your worlds, and we were honoured to help carry them to the screen. Here’s to more bridges, more stories, and more journeys together.

Couldn’t be more thrilled to share that our labour of love ‘Shadowbox’ (‘Baksho Bondi’), directed by Tanushree Das @tanushree_skreenfilms and Saumyananda Sahi @somosahi , has been selected in the new Perspectives Competition at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival. Set against the backdrop of a dusty Kolkata suburb, Shadowbox is a powerful narrative of love, resilience, and the quiet strength of a working woman - Maya. Featuring Tillotama Shome @tillotamashome , Chandan Bisht @chandanbissht and Sayan Karmakar, the film has been in the making for eight years. We can’t wait for the film to find its audience.

Cocktails & Dinner at @bare.bombay with @amazingarch Part café, part gallery, part cocktail bar, part dining room and somehow it all comes together like a magic trick. Find the right door. Step into a space where the light shifts with the hour, the cocktails go by numbers alone, and the food will surprise you long before you find out the kitchen is run by a chef who’s all of 26. I’ve been twice. I ordered No. 2, 3, 4, 7, 9 and 11 — and I’m already planning a third visit to work through the rest before the menu flips again in April. #thegoodfoodlife

Dinner at @across.bombay with @rushisharma @amazingarch @_naren Missed you @ben_bernhard Curated flavours from the Himalayas celebrating its culinary heritage. With an absolutely smashing cocktail menu. Thank you @chefviraf for guiding us through the extensive menu. We can’t wait to come back and have even more of the small plates and this time maybe keep space for the large ones.
