All of photochemistry is based on the idea that an element can transform and make imaginations come to life. Light makes friends with silver and chemistry, and an image is born. Cinema too, is transformative, where ideas tilt into images and come into motion. They become portals into lives other than our own, a third place to rest our dreams.

For ten editions, the 16mm film festival has celebrated this dance of images. And with this edition, we bring it back to where it started— to a simple wonderment of chemistry, chance, light imperfections, mastery and process.

The edition this time, will see a month long celebration of city wide workshops, a mini residency in Alibaug, an analog exhibition, our 1-min film competition, many Indian and International artists joining and multiple venues. We are stretching ourselves a bit and we like it.

Sign up for getting onto all the festival announcements. Lots of photochemical engagements coming up.
