Suchitra Cine Academy

SUCHITRA, established in 1971 as a film society, grew Suchitra Cinema and Cultural Academy to expand its activities to other performing arts particularly theatre, dance and music. The Academy, aware of the changed context of evolving digital technology, lays emphasis on the fact that the cinema experience has to be shared and not be confined to an individual’s drawing room. Notably, Suchitra conceived and has been conducting BIFFES, the annual Bangalore International Film Festival since 2006. Founders and Trustees
