Australian documentary “Shared Table: Regional Heroes” has been acquired by Cinepolis India for a limited theatrical release later this year, following the film’s world premiere in the international competition section of the 19th Mumbai International Film Festival (MIFF).
Directed by Melbourne-based Indian-Australian filmmaker Nandita Chakraborty, the documentary follows a group of filmmakers on an improvised road trip across regional Victoria, tracing the lives of four migrant communities who open their homes and kitchens to explore questions of identity, displacement, and cultural memory through food. It is the only Australian film selected for MIFF 2026.
Cinepolis is serving as distributor, which means that the release is not limited to their screens.
“We are delighted to partner with Indian-Australian director Nandita Chakaborty and producer Niru Tripathi on their documentary ‘Shared Table: Regional Heroes’ for its theatrical release in India following its World Premiere in MIFF’s Competition section,” said Devang Sampat, managing director of Cinepolis India. “‘Shared Table: Regional Heroes’ is a deeply human documentary that celebrates community, identity, diversity, inclusivity and the universal language of food.”
