Hyderabad's film clubs: A haven for cinephiles
New Indian ExpressHYDERABAD: Isn’t it fun to find like-minded people in a place where you can share, discuss, and enjoy your favourite films together? We screen successful Hollywood films, award-winning Hindi films directed by renowned directors of the 1940s and 1970s, and other Indian language films with subtitles,” shares Sanghamitra Malik, the current working president. From screening films every Children’s Day on November 14 for schoolchildren from orphanages, government and private schools, to hosting renowned film personalities like Adoor Gopalakrishnan, Subodh Bhave, and Ranjan Ghosh, Moving Images has been organising big and successful events in Hyderabad. The Parallel Cinema Club TPCC, Bengaluru inspired Umar Ali Khan, one of the founders of TPCC, Hyderabad, who moved from Bengaluru to Hyderabad last year, “to introduce the same film culture to Hyderabad,” as he found it lacking. “The Parallel Cinema movement of Satyajit Ray and Ritwik Ghatak is a guiding light for us, and so we endeavor to showcase films that are off the beaten path, whose aesthetic decisions and subject matter offer insights into something that mainstream movies won’t necessarily showcase,” mentions Umar Ali.
