CAFF - Cineville Annual Film Festival is an event organized by the members of FilmTantra- The Film Appreciation and Filmmaking Society of Shaheed Bhagat Singh College.We aim to bring meaningful and engaging cinema to enthusiastic audiences.
With each passing year, we have built a wider audience and helped introduce more people to indie cinema. Last year, the pandemic brought about a change that made the world more virtual and CAFF follwed suit.
We concluded a successful virtual edition of CAFF with 16 films, 5 workshops with more than 10 panel discussions.
This year, by combining both online and offline audiences,CAFF is going HYBRID for the first time. Evolution is a long term process and CAFF is certainly evolving. This year we have partnered with the popular online VoD platform MoviGarage where all films that are a part of CAFF'22 will be available for streaming for four days. We are planning to bring about fifteen films and host several offline events like panel discussions and workshops in the college premises on 11th and 12th April. As always, with Cineville we endeavor to provide a novel experience that takes the best of indie cinema to the most passionate of its audience.
Opening up boundaries between fiction and documentary, DRISHYAM invites submissions for both fiction and documentary films bringing out the true essence of storytelling.

CAFF'22 presents a "Game of Phones" that will test your cinematic knowledge! Your quest, should you choose to accept it, will be to make it past the preliminary rounds of our offline quiz to reach the "Final Destination" - a perfect blend of brain teasers and existing tropes of movies.
FilmTantra-as a society started as a space where each member could bring out their potential and contribute it towards the art form which is ‘Cinema’. One of our main objectives was to build a platform where independent and regional films can be showcased and help the films to garner attention and bring cinema to the forefront. Cinema as an artform varies from different genres, types of films and styles. In the preceding year with the help of the members and their initiatives, we were successful in bringing out these films and catering to a larger audience.
