AR Rahman unveils new initiative Futureproof

Renowned composer AR Rahman has launched a brand new initiative geared toward presenting and showcasing Indian expertise to the world. Titled Futureproof, the initiative is a high-impact convention collection, designed to raise and amplify the nation’s various expertise throughout the streams of artwork, science and entrepreneurship.
The first version of Futureproof has been curated by filmmaker Anurag Kashyap and can characteristic Oscar-winning scribe Nick Vallelonga of Green Book fame and famend appearing educator Bernard Hiller.
A bunch of in style Indian names like Zoya Akhtar, Nandita Das, Anubhav Sinha, Hansal Mehta, Neeraj Ghaywan, Lijo Jose Pellissery and Geetu Mohandas can even be part of the collection.
“I found myself faced with many questions after having grown up in India and travelled the world; questions that arose both out of curiosity and concern. As a culturally rich country, what did we lack artistically so as to make our global representation so caricatured and dismal? Witnessing the birth of a new world in the past decade, where diversity is not only championed but celebrated, I felt the need to facilitate an exchange of artistic ideas and resources for Indian creatives. Futureproof was the answer I had been looking for all along,” Rahman mentioned in a press release.
The inaugural version of Futureproof will concentrate on the way forward for cinema and takes a deep dive into the processes that govern the illustration of Indian cinema internationally.

“I hope this digital conference triggers solutions, leading us to identify the missing links and bridge them, so that Indian cinema may receive the recognition we deserve on the world stage. I’m also grateful to Nick Vallelonga, Bernard Hiller, Anurag Kashyap and the entire team of filmmakers and creative firebrands behind Futureproof. It’s time we put our minds together and united to put Indian cinema, art and culture on the map,” Rahman mentioned.
