Call it coincidence that when The Last Film Show mourning the demise of single screens is making waves at Oscars, G5A South Mumbai’s prime art theatre launches its latest property, Cinema House. Designed to be a single screen theatre, showcasing movies one-weekend-a month, Cinema House aims to spotlight on independent, regional, and contemporary cinema. The idea is to celebrate the experience of collective film viewing and reinforce a culture of watching old and new ways of storytelling.
Beginning with January 2023 Cinema House held two screenings, Ajitpal Singh’s Fire in the Mountains andShaunak Sen’s All That Breathes nominated for Best Documentary Feature Film at the 95th Academy Awards followed by a conversation with the film crew. G5A continues its activities at the Black Box that launched veteran director Saeed Mirza’s new book I Know the Psychology of Rats a stimulating event surrounded by like-minded people.
G5A is the brainchild of the multi-talented and ravishing Anuradha Parikh.
