Bangalore Film Society 

“ In each image one must know who is speaking ...
our task is to discover images and sounds which are free ...”

Bangalore Film Society is a forum of individuals committed to evolving a new perspective for film appreciation through exploring the Cultural Politics and how it impact and shape the modern cultural practices, politics and social behaviour.  We have  been conducting regular film festivals and seminars on specific issues like women, human rights, development, communalism and so on.  Through our programmes we attempt to connect the participants with cultural histories of ideas and desires of social transformation, contentious socio-political issues and a lingering aesthetic experience. 

The membership is drawn from students, artists, filmmaker, critics, academics,  corporate professionals, social activists and general film enthusiasts. 
Our regular activities are:

- Screening feature, short and documentary films from India and abroad .  Conducting film festivals and retrospectives of outstanding film directors followed by symposia and discussions around the films screened.

- Organising film festivals of socially relevant themes  in collaboration with cultural organisations, colleges and ngo’s. 

- Organising seminars/workshops on film and media.

- Documenting film analyses/reviews and events

- Last film festival/ seminar: Voices from the Waters an international film festival on water which will be an annual event coinciding with the world water day, March 22.
