JOIN COCHIN FILM SOCIETY FOR A BETTER FILM CULTURE..
Cochin Film Society originated from the occasional film screenings held at Kerala Kalapeetom, Kochi, for a small but enthusiastic audience. 'Pather Panchali' was the first film screened. The artist T. Kaladharan, Honourary Secretary of Kerala Kalapeetom and a bunch of film lovers felt the need to take the film shows to a larger audience. Thus the Cochin Film Society took shape.
The Society was formally inaugurated on 24-5-1984 by the eminent cinematographer Mankata Ravi Varma. The last two decades of the Society’s functioning is dotted with many a landmark. Hundreds of good films from all over the world have been screened; many film festivals held. Film Appreciation Workshops, Seminars,Discussions and many such events are regular features. The Cochin International Film Festival was started in 2004. The 2nd edition of the Festival was held in October-November 2005.
