Kochi's parallel cinema collective

We bypass commercial exhibition bottlenecks to screen and produce raw, independent films. Rooted in Kochi, we bring uncompromised regional cuts directly to local cinephiles.

THE MANIFESTO

The uncompromised cut

We reject commercial formulas to champion raw Malayali storytelling and global avant-garde cinema.

Operating from the rain-slicked streets of Fort Kochi, our focus remains on celluloid grit and subtitled realities that linger long after the projector cools.

Three parallel narratives

Our dual mandate as an exhibition society and active production house fuels low-budget, high-concept independent films in Kerala.

Community Screenings

The Third Eye Lab

We fund and produce raw, regional films, bypassing traditional distributors to retain complete creative control over every frame.

We curate weekly screenings of global avant-garde cinema, hosting critical discussions that challenge mainstream narratives.

A democratic workspace for local filmmakers to workshop scripts, share gear, and collaborate on low-budget productions.
