Because Mumbai Is Cinema

Every city has it’s own elements and it’s these elements that create an identity, a story, a perception for the city. For Mumbai, that magical element is undoubtedly the movies… Yes #MumbaiIsCinema.

To celebrate this very spirit of cinema, MAMI (Mumbai Academy Of Moving Images)brings to you the Mumbai Film Festival. With a successful run of 16 years, MAMI is all set for it’s 17th edition from 29th October- 5th November, 2015.

For many years, the festival has been a home to cinephile, movie aficionados, aspirants, established members of the fraternity- actors, directors, writers, producers, critics and of course the audience. Since inception, the city of Mumbai has been home to this illustrious festival.

In what seems like a vibrant year at the festival ahead, here’s why-

After all , to be in Mumbai to many is to be in movies! (Isn’t that what your distant relatives keep wondering? 😉 )

My first tryst with MFF was 3 years ago when I was a part of theYoung Critics team in 2012. If you have to go by my word, there isn’t a better paradise for anyone who loves, lives and thinks cinema. Watching 3-4 films a day, attending Masterclass events by renowned and experienced professionals from within the country and overseas, interaction with eminent members of the fraternity and countless lessons and experiences that become memories with the magic of cinema.

This year, in it’s revamped form as Jio MAMI Film Festival, be prepared to experience some of the finest films in world cinema. Sources have it that legendary filmmaker Satyajit Ray’s ‘Apu Trilogy’ will be restored and screened at the festival. One of the many reasons why you must register right away!
