Jaipur Centre for Art (JCA) presents Artists’ Cinema / Artist’s Cinema—a six-week programme of bold, poetic, and boundary-blurring films that celebrate cinema as both artistic expression and collective experience.

Curated by Dr. Shwetal Ashvin Patel, the inaugural programme of art and film will feature over 150 films from South Asia and beyond, spanning genres and formats—from short experimental pieces and documentaries to both historical and contemporary internationally acclaimed features.

“This inaugural programme seeks to nurture the poetic potential of cinema—envisioning film as a space of refuge and resistance in an era marked by acceleration, exploitation, and erasure,” says Dr. Shwetal Ashvin Patel, curator of the programme. “These films transcend borders, styles, and formats, creating a space that welcomes diverse ideas, perspectives, and modes of remembrance.”
