KRVIA Research and Design Cell

Project Cinema City emerged from KRVIA’s commitment to multidisciplinarity. This project involved filmmakers, film theorists, artists, architects etc. The project aimed at understanding the relationship between cinema and the city, where cinema is produced and consumed, as well as the way the city is represented in Indian cinema. The project documented the way in which the film industry operates within the city of Mumbai, both in its formal and informal spaces of pre-production, production, post-production, distribution, display, archiving and recycling.
