The City Reels Film Festival, as part of the UnboxBLR Habba, is set to grace Bangalore with its celebration of urban stories. From December 6 to 9, 2023, this festival will be a hub for filmmakers, urban enthusiasts, and engaged citizens, all gathered to explore the dynamic and evolving world of cities, towns, and neighborhoods.

Themes central to the festival include “Cities” and “Urban Living.” Expect a cinematic journey that reflects the challenges, beauty, and diversity of urban life, while also inspiring discussions on how to make our cities more vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable. It is a festival of stories about places – about how places shape our lives, and about how we can make our cities, towns and neighborhoods better places for everyone to live, work and play. 

City Reels Film Festival is not just about passive film viewing. Attendees can look forward to engaging discussions on urban topics, talks by representatives from the City BBMP department, and workshops aimed at providing practical insights into making our cities better places to live.

This festival promises to be a haven for those passionate about cities and those eager to explore their potential. Whether you’re a filmmaker, an urban planner, an activist, or just a curious citizen, the City Reels Film Festival offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of urban storytelling and inspire positive change in our communities.

Join us in celebrating the narratives that shape our urban landscapes and the possibilities they hold for a brighter future.
