Beyond Cinema Collective

Beyond Cinema Collective is a community-driven movie club based in Trivandrum, operating under the Playfest Public Trust.

Hosted at Eve’s Coffee, Anayara, the collective brings together people who genuinely love cinema—not just as entertainment, but as art, culture, and conversation. We explore art films, world cinema, independent films, and every genre that expands the language of cinema. Beyond Cinema Collective is a space to watch, reflect, discuss, and connect through films that challenge perspectives and spark meaningful dialogue.

Every Wednesday, we host a meetup where cinema lovers gather to screen films, exchange ideas, and engage in thoughtful discussions in a relaxed, inclusive atmosphere. Whether you’re a seasoned cinephile or someone curious to explore cinema beyond the mainstream, Beyond Cinema Collective welcomes you.

Here, cinema goes beyond the screen—it becomes a shared experience.
