Cinema Society of India is a film screening society founded by Dalton. For the first four years, monthly screenings were conducted at Eka - the art gallery, in Fort Cochin. Presently, in association with Minimal Cinema, screenings take place every week at Kozhikode /Calicut, Kerala.

Roots

By the early 80s, Ritwik Ghatak sir’s best student, the wandering bohemian filmmaker John Abraham, has made Fort Cochin his home away from home. John’s circle of artist friends establish two film screening societies: Prachodana (lit., “Inspiration”; downtown, in that quaint old heritage suburb) and Cochin Film Society (uptown). The former would eventually fade away for quite a while before its revival in 2012 by a film critic. The new avatar is rechristened as Cinema Society of India.
