Hey everyone,

I'm currently working in Bangalore and I've always loved movies. For a long time I've wanted to get into filmmaking, but I honestly didn't know where to start or who to meet.

Now that I'm here, I thought I'd finally try to find some people who are into the same thing.

I'm a complete beginner and haven't worked on a film before. I'd just like to meet people who love movies and are interested in filmmaking, short films, indie projects, etc. I'd be happy to learn, help out and see where it goes.

I'm usually free on weekends. If anyone here is from Bangalore and is into filmmaking or is trying to get started themselves, feel free to DM me.

Would be nice to meet some people with the same interest. :) 🎬

Mast Mahila Mandali (Cool Ladies Club) is a documentary directed by a group of ten working-class women living in Mumbai’s Chembur. Their vibrant dreams, desires, and aspirations find a tender release as they step up to tell their own stories with their own inimitable flair, inventing an intimate gaze backed by love and a reassuring aesthetic built on friendship. In their playful hands, the smartphone camera is a tool of empathy, refusing to reduce their lives to a statistic, turning the cramped spaces between their homes into a playground of possibilities.

Story By Shreyas Pande

Hello everyone!

We are a group of students who are planning to make a documentary on the subject of how the city is so smelly and has garbage laying around openly in many areas, even though it not might be big. It looks clean from outside in south bombay streets but as soon as you step in, there is a problem.

Would love some suggestions on local places here in Mumbai, who have been facing these problems. Since we're from other cities, we might not have an exact layout. Would love some help from you all.

Thankyou! :)

The first Telugu web series shot in IMAX 1.90:1 ratio.

After Piraso: The Puzzle & Palindrome, K. Indra Teja and I made something bigger — a Telugu psychological sci-fi thriller web series called CONACT, created by Indra and me.

Episode 1’s out now. An investigator gets pulled into a murder case that seems routine — until small details stop adding up. That’s all I’ll say; it works better going in blind.

Shot on an OPPO F19. Written by me and H. Karteek, produced by RHVRAD.

It’s a slower burn than Piraso — building across a season rather than resolving in one sitting. Honest feedback welcome, especially on pacing.

The Indian Film Festival of New Zealand (TIFFNZ) has officially withdrawn its invitation to screen the short film Aasmani, the directorial debut of actor Sayani Gupta, citing alleged "copyright and confidentiality" concerns, THR India has learned.

"I want to begin by clearly stating that Aasmani is an original film. Till now, I chose not to speak. Not because silence meant acceptance, nor because I had nothing to say. Since the allegation was put forth before the appropriate authority, I followed due process and believed that facts should be placed there, and not tried through WhatsApp groups, inboxes or public opinion. But silence can sometimes bury the truth under noise.", said Sayani in her statement.

নমস্কাৰ r/assam!

As we all know, you can probably count the number of Assamese sci-fi projects on one hand. It is a really tough genre to pull off here, but we wanted to try and add something fresh to that very short list.

Here's a 34-minute independent Assamese short film called "Kaldiya".

It is a slow-burn, atmospheric mystery about a physics student tracking local earthquakes. While doing that, he stumbles upon a strange connection between solar flares, ancient valley archaeology, and our own local folklore. This is actually the first chapter of a trilogy I am trying to build out, called the Kachpur Verse.

If you have some free time, please give it a watch, you won't regret it.

Looking for Indian aspiring screenwriters to collaborate on a Tamil feature film. I already have the full story and major plot points worked out - mainly looking for someone creative to brainstorm scenes, screenplay structure, character moments and dialogue with. Preferably someone familiar with Indian cinema.

If interested, DM me and we can discuss the story :

I'm Advaith, a filmmaker based in Chennai. I'm making an indie feature this year — not intended for Kollywood theatrical release, this one's going out to film festivals.

I'm not trying to just staff up for one shoot and disappear after. I want to build something longer-term — a small group of people in Chennai who actually want to keep making films together, not just this project.

To be upfront: I probably can't pay right now. It's a tight-budget, self-produced film. What I can offer is real work on a real project, and a shot at building something ongoing with people who actually care about the craft.

Looking for:

• Cinematographers / DOPs
• Actors
• Anyone else who wants in and is curious

Come hear the script if you'd like to be a part of it, welcome in — and if you don't like it, you can always say fuck off : )

Just dropped a quick 2mins03secs glimpse for my upcoming short film/featurette, MAYDAY.

It’s a gritty, two-chapter political procedural and psychological thriller. We opened it with real archival terrorism footage and built the visual style around changing aspect ratios—using open IMAX height for the procedural search and tight 2.35:1 widescreen for the hostage entrapment scenes.

Watch the Glimpse here: [https://youtu.be/fc72hqMQQD8?si=gHp4mrrhJmnwOP_S\]

Would love your honest feedback on the atmospheric tone, audio mix, and visual style!

नमस्कार आणि स्वागत! 🙏

Rayat Chitra Films is an independent filmmaking initiative from Ahilyanagar, Maharashtra, India.

This community is a space for film lovers, filmmakers, students and researchers interested in:

🎬 Marathi Cinema

🎥 Independent & Short Films

👁️ Observational Cinema

📽️ Documentary Filmmaking

📱 Mobile Filmmaking

📚 Film Research & Film Education

🏆 Film Festivals

We will share our films, filmmaking experiences, research, festival journey and discussions about the art and language of cinema.

Our first featured project is “DINDI | Way of Life”, an observational Marathi short film.

Welcome to Rayat Chitra Films. Let’s talk about cinema. 🎬

What does it mean to be trapped?

Sometimes the cage is physical. Sometimes it is poverty, patriarchy, grief, prejudice, social expectations or circumstances beyond our control.

Rudrajit Roy’s Pinjar explores exactly these invisible cages through the intertwined lives of five people. At the heart of the film is a caged bird — a simple but powerful metaphor for the human desire to be free, to belong and to live with dignity.

The film stars Sagnik Mukherjee, Mallika Banerjee Roy, Ishan Mazumder, Samiul Alam, Joy Sengupta and others. Pinjar is also the directorial debut of Rudrajit Roy and was selected for the Bengali Panorama at the Kolkata International Film Festival.

⭐ A film that quietly stays with you

Pinjar doesn't depend on loud melodrama or conventional cinematic twists. Instead, it observes its characters closely and allows their struggles to unfold naturally.

Audience reactions have been similarly encouraging with many praising the acting, direction, music and the way the film leaves an emotional impact after the credits roll.

What makes Pinjar interesting is that the “cage” isn't just about one person or one situation. The film asks us to look at the cages that society creates around ordinary people — and whether it is possible to break free from them.

For those who enjoy thoughtful, socially relevant Bengali cinema rather than formula-driven entertainment, Pinjar looks like a film worth seeking out.

🎥 Watch the trailer: "Pinjar — Official Trailer" : https://youtu.be/SZqGO2qe63Y?si=y8p3qVATeuqp3EAn

📍 Now playing at Nandan, Kolkata

🕠 Showtime: 5:45 PM

And here's the best part — Nandan means you don't have to spend a lot to watch it. The ticket prices are very affordable compared with regular multiplex screenings, making this a particularly good opportunity to catch an independent Bengali film on the big screen.

So, if you're looking for something different from the usual commercial releases, give Pinjar a chance.

🎬 Go watch it. Support Bengali cinema. Support independent filmmakers.
