The distribution model for "Humans in the Loop" will see the film released through a mix of theatrical and curated independent showcases. Audiences will have the opportunity to request specific screenings of the film in their cities, fostering a sense of community and engagement.
Starting September 12, screenings of "Humans in the Loop" will take place in several cities across India, including Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Thiruvananthapuram, and Bengaluru.
In addition to its domestic success, "Humans in the Loop" is slated for an international premiere. The film is set to make its German debut at the JFF in 2025, with activities planned around September of that year, though the exact city has yet to be announced.
The film "Humans in the Loop" has also received support from Kiran and Biju, further underscoring its potential to make a lasting impact in the world of cinema.
"Songs of Forgotten Trees", another notable film, premiered at the Venice Festival, adding to the excitement in the film industry. As we await the release of "Humans in the Loop", anticipation continues to build, promising a cinematic experience that is not to be missed.
