Cinema With Purpose: Ravi Gautam's Soch Chosen to Close Stuttgart Indian Film Festival with a social punch
Soch: A Perception, the latest feature film by Indo-German director Ravi Gautam, has been selected as the closing film for the upcoming Indian Film Festival Stuttgart, Europe's largest festival dedicated to Indian cinema. The festival, known for its socially conscious programming and cultural bridge-building, will take place next month in the German city. Produced by Jennifer Pengel and Rahul Sharma, Soch is a thought-provoking exploration of gender bias and societal double standards in modern India. The film follows Officer Priyanka Negi, portrayed by acclaimed actress Anjali Patil, as she investigates a village disappearance while grappling with deeply entrenched patriarchal norms. Patil's performance was recently nominated for Best Actress at the India International Film Festival of Boston. Soch has already been screened at major international festivals including IIFFB, the Chicago South Asian Film Festival, the Jagran Film Festival, and the 22nd Chennai International Film Festival. Its selection in Stuttgart reflects its growing global resonance. 'Cinema can't always offer answers—but it can start conversations,' says Gautam. 'With Soch, I wanted to highlight the silent codes we grow up with, especially those that define women's freedom and men's judgment.' The Stuttgart Indian Film Festival has built a reputation over two decades for championing bold, socially relevant films. Many acclaimed Indian filmmakers and actors have found early international recognition on its platform. The festival also serves as a key venue for cross-cultural exchange between India and Germany, particularly through its ties with Mumbai, Stuttgart's sister city. Soch is produced by Webfilmland Production, a film company based in Garbsen near Hanover, which also supports creative development, workshops, and socially conscious storytelling. The company has recently completed another project by Gautam, A Million Yard Stare, a poetic, emotionally charged film about Ukrainian refugee children coping with the trauma of war. 'A child's trauma isn't always loud—it lives in the eyes,' says Gautam. 'A Million Yard Stare is my attempt to honor that silence.' Embed if wherever possible; otherwise, provide as a hyperlink. If neither is possible, include as plain text. Watch the trailer for Soch: A Perception: Disclaimer: The above press release comes to you under an arrangement with a PR agency.

UP's Dussehri Mango Goes Global, First Export Consignment Airlifted To Dubai
Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh's push towards boosting farm exports has achieved a key breakthrough, with 1,200 kg of Dussehri mangoes (400 boxes, each weighing 3 kg) airlifted to Dubai, an official statement said on Sunday. Dispatched from Lucknow's Mango Pack House to Dubai-based importer Vergro Trading LLC, the USD-2,992 consignment signals a new global opportunity for the state's mango growers, it said. The consignment was flagged off by Dinesh Pratap Singh, Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Horticulture, Agricultural Marketing, and Agricultural Foreign Trade. Under the Indo-German AMD Project, three Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) from the Lucknow region were trained and empowered for agricultural export. Among them, Irada Farmers Producer Company Limited and Malihabad Farmer Producer Company Limited have secured direct export orders for Dussehri mangoes from Dubai. For the first time both the FPOs are independently exporting mangoes, making it a historic milestone for the state's mango growers. "Under the visionary leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, mango exports from Uttar Pradesh are steadily rising. Our goal is to help mango farmers from the state establish a strong presence in the global market. The government is extending all necessary support in terms of production, packaging, and meeting international export standards," said Singh.
