On Tuesday, The Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles (IFFLA) proudly announces the return of IFFLA Industry Days, a dynamic two-day forum which will take place on April 24–25, 2026, at Landmark Sunset in Hollywood. Now in its third year, IFFLA Industry Days serves as a bridge between South Asian film and television creatives and influential players across Hollywood.
As part of the event, top executives from Netflix, NBC, Universal Pictures, HBO, Onyx Collective among other reputed production companies and media conglomerates will participate in a robust lineup of programming, including IFFLA Connect, Launchpad: Pitch Competition, One-on-One Program, panel sessions on animation, gaming and distribution, and a special masterclass on the importance of positioning of a project.
IFFLA Industry Days producer Megha Kadakia, said, “There’s an incredible depth of storytelling coming out of South Asian and diasporic creatives right now. IFFLA Industry Days is about creating the space for those stories to connect with the right partners, so they can travel, scale, and reach the audiences they’re meant to.”
On the occasion, IFFLA also announced that, following a shift in the worldwide release date of Patriot, the festival will now open with Breaking The Code, directed by Ben Rekhi and Swetlana.
A pioneer of the early internet era, a devoted husband, a loving grandfather, and a mentor to generations of innovators, Kanwal Rekhi emerges as a figure seen through the deeply personal lens of his son, Ben Rekhi. A moving portrait of family, migration, and memory, Breaking The Code traces the extraordinary life of Kanwal Rekhi, from a modest childhood in newly independent India to his remarkable rise in Silicon Valley. Blending archival footage with intimate glimpses of present-day life, the film reveals the journey of an immigrant shaped by perseverance, risk, and an unwavering belief in himself.
