KRITI Film Club - offers thought-provoking cinema in a discussion group format to deepen understandings on social, development, environment and human rights issues among viewers and film makers. It is an attempt to create an informal and educational space where students, activists, academicians, development professionals, media professionals and friends can come together and interact, through meaningful cinema. Enhancing access to such films beyond single shows and festivals is a core objective of the film club. Screening documentaries and relevant mainstream films regularly, once or twice a month since 2000...
Public Education events - that mark and celebrate socially relevant days through a awareness and mobilization programming and activities. We curate and organize issue based festivals and events, that are based on performing or visual arts, and documentary films. Workshops, organisational interactions and sharing resources to engage creatively around a diverse range of rights based issues and mark their significance in a collective spirit, is part of this mission.
