Founded by Film Editor Shubhika Sharma and Creative Producer Harshita Sabnis, Chat Chitra Talkies promises to be a unique way to enjoy a movie. The concept stems from the founders' shared passion for cinema and their desire to create a dedicated space for people to watch films. Attendees can look forward to post-screening discussions led by the filmmaker herself.
What’s interesting, is that Chat Chitra aims to screen movies that are not easily available online, creating it’s own distinct charm. They can range from diverse selection of documentaries, short fiction, and non-fiction films, with a focus on works by independent filmmakers and Indian/Western classics, that’ll make you sit and think.
With a charming terrace venue in Bandra West, the film club aims to lure in droves of cinephiles to foster a sense of community and we are surly going for the next screening.
