Filmmakers from around the world will get a chance to discuss the tricks of the trade at the second edition of annual conference Ticket to Bollywood II 'Cinema Beyond Boundaries'. The symposium will be held in New York from Sep 27-29.

The event, presented by Molecule Communications, will see filmmakers from the east connecting with those of the west, said a statement.

"Indian cinema is no more limited to audiences in India. We have viewers all around the world and hence understanding the global perspective is a must.
