What is FWICE?
The Federation of Western India Cine Employees is a grouping of over 30 unions of film industry workers, including the Indian Film & Television Director’s Association, the Screenwriters Guild of India and highly specialized film crew unions representing camera technicians, editors, costume, makeup and hair artists and even lookalikes. FWICE was formed in 1958 with 11 such associations. They are registered, non-political trade unions formed to protect the rights of workers on film sets. Actors, producers and directors are also members, although some top stars tend not to join unions.
