About Suchitra
Inaugurating the Suchitra Cinema and Cultural Academy at the site on 8th January 1980, Bharat Ratna, Special Oscar Award winner and India’s greatest auteur of cinema, Satyajit Ray, had said: “We need art theatres to find an outlet for good films. This is happening here, in Bangalore, for the first time (in India). ” Moving forward, Suchitra continues to keep in mind the founding vision: to not only expose the audience to fine cinema and engage them in appreciation of it, but also to enable the makers of cinema and other moving-image media to improve their craft and expression.
