ABOUT US

Bangalore Film Society is a collective of cineastes who explore through the medium of cinema, cultural politics and how it impacts and shapes the modern cultural practices, politics and social behaviour. Towards this, we organize regular film screenings and discussions on feature and documentary films from across the globe as well as organise film festival and conferences on specific themes such as social justice, women empowerment, indigenous peoples rights, refugees, migrations, displacement, water and environment, farming and food, and so on.

 

Through these programs we attempt to connect the participants with cultural histories of ideas and desires of social transformations, socio-cultural-political issues of our times as well as provide entertainment and aesthetic experience. The Society is a nonprofit socio-cultural organisation registered under the Registrar of Society’s Act Karnataka, 1960. The medium of film is the most effective tool to create awareness about social political and cultural issues cutting across class, gender and literacy as it communicates with participants directly through image and sound.
