SPECIAL FEATURE<br />
GERMANY®<br />
performances and stars. Since<br />
2008 <strong>BNA</strong> GERMANY was the<br />
partner of the ACEBAs (Annual<br />
Central European Bollywood<br />
Awards), initiated by the Swiss Bollywood<br />
Forum Molodezhnaja. As<br />
the PR and media partner of those<br />
Bollywood Fan Awards we promoted<br />
it internationally and started<br />
with the first ACEBA Award Show<br />
in 2011 in Switzerland. In 2012 we<br />
organized in Berlin our first Indian<br />
Film Festival in which the ACEBA<br />
Award Show became an integral<br />
part of the festival. Due to our<br />
good connection with the Indian<br />
film industry we were able to invite<br />
prominent filmmakers and stars<br />
like Prem Chopra, Madhur<br />
Bhandarkar, Vipin Sharma, Abhishek<br />
Pathak, Omi Vaidya and<br />
many more. Film producers and<br />
distributors helped us by offering<br />
their latest and best films which we<br />
could screen at the festival.<br />
In 2014 <strong>BNA</strong> GERMANY launched<br />
its own Film Awards, the AIFAs<br />
(Annual Indian Film Awards) as<br />
a further development of the ACEBAs and now<br />
with this edition we are releasing our first edition<br />
of “<strong>BNA</strong> <strong>INDIA</strong>”. Our journey, which started<br />
ten years back in 2005, still goes on and we<br />
enjoy the trip. The most important value in our<br />
work is trust. People - be it our readers or be it<br />
our business partners - trust us. And that is our<br />
biggest achievement in our work, because<br />
without that trust over all those years we would<br />
not have such a good relationship with our<br />
partners and could not do such a great job<br />
which makes us to Europe's No. 1 for Entertainment,<br />
as Indian Cinema & Culture are our<br />
passion.<br />
Our supporters throughout the past years have<br />
been Tania Vom Lehn, Diana Weidner, Sylvia<br />
Cholschreiber and Sven Schlegelmilch. For<br />
the magazines we had also a lot of contributors<br />
like Jyothi Venkatesh (editor), Saibal Chatterjee<br />
(editor), Anupama Kathyayni (fashion<br />
designer), Jattinn Kochhar (fashion designer),<br />
Ajay Bhambi (astrologer), Shiraz Henry<br />
(photographer), Uptal Borpujari (editor), Arnab<br />
Banerjee (editor), Gaurav Gupta (editor),<br />
Rupa Batra (astrologer), Nandita Dutta<br />
(editor), Shoma A Chatterji (editor), Sreya<br />
Basu (editor) and many more. I want to thank<br />
all of you.<br />
