Founded in 2016, Bindubot Communication, a Kolkata-based house produces, distributes, markets and sells South Asian fiction, factual cinema and impact documentary films worldwide. It is an umbrella, which provides business support to independent filmmakers and producers working on engaging, true-blue content in South Asia.
Bindubot Communication collaborates with international film organizations such as Sundance Institute, IDFA, Hotdocs, Film Independent, Touch Narrative, JW Documentaries and Inmaat Foundation to produce films. The films produced by Bindubot are chosen to be pitched in major film markets like Sheffield Meet Market, Hotdocs Forum, Docedge Kolkata, DMZ Industry, Dok Leipzig Co Pro market, and Dhaka Doc Lab.
We consider cinema and art from a social development point of view, developing a social beneficial role for social inclusion, alleviating the social inequalities and discrimination in different social strata. Cinema is always a change tool, which is instrumental for social change. We focus on developing the change mechanism creatively in terms of Impact production, network outreach, community and theatrical distribution, and in-depth research and study.
Apart from the film production and distribution, throughout the year it keeps mentoring and sponsoring the underprivileged communities on which the films are produced.
