The city of Mumbai is home to cinema. Mainstream populist cinema, art house - independent cinema and even B-grade potboilers co-exist and thrive here. It’s home to film lovers, patrons of art and the common man who seeks a few hours of escape from his daily grind. It’s home to storytellers and dreamers. It is about time that the city’s beloved Mumbai Film Festival expands its horizons and initiates year-round activities that create a much-needed holistic ecosystem for cinema, the film fraternity and film lovers. We look forward to creating a platform that nurtures, supports, educates and entertains this vast community of movie lovers from all walks of life.
