Film: A Love Letter to Cinema
Be a part of the movement.
In an era where film-watching experience is transforming, India Cinema House is an effort to bring the spirit of community film watching to the digital space. In this wave of change, to ensure certain films are not lost, and we as an audience are not merely watching films in isolation, ICH brings together the experience of exhibition, hosting & discussion - all at one place - so that we can empower each other through cinema.

Programming on ICH Platform
• The screenings are ticketed.
• We are working towards a dashboard for complete transparency.
• All films, including those programmed by India Cinema House, will be showcased on the homepage according to screening dates to ensure fair and equal visibility to all films.
• All films, curators, institutions and filmmakers must adhere to our Community Exhibition Guidelines which are set in place to safeguard the interests of the filmmaking community and our audience.
• Our revenue sharing structures have been drafted to ensure sustainability and fairness to all the parties involved.
• We do not believe in following the tradition of only scouting for festival recognised films, but to go beyond the usual distance and find the films that are lost in the stringent definitions of ‘great’ cinema.
Films are programmed on ICH in 3 ways:
Programmed by ICH
Filmmakers & Rights holders may submit their films to be programmed by ICH. When ICH programs a film, we take care of the film's page - where we aid discussions & engagement, create ancillary content like video essays, interviews, etc to start conversations about the film.Revenue Sharing -
To submit your film, find the submission button at the end of the page.
Programmed by Film Communities, Institutions & Film Curators
Different film communities have different philosophies of what cinema is. At ICH we aim to bring together all these different ideas of cinema into confluence, and build conversations to take filmmaking forward.If you are a curator or a film community and have a film on your mind you’d like to screen, you can do it on ICH.
• No long term commitment. No obligation. We do this per film.
• We provide complete access to the film's page where you can organise events and drive conversations around the film that you program - Q&As, Panel discussions, whatever you can think of. ICH is not just about exhibition so our expectation is that you take the lead in building engagement around the film.
