Nilaya Anthology presents the Monsoon Film Festival in collaboration with The Hollywood Reporter India. Bringing film into dialogue with design, the four-weekend festival explores cinema’s role in shaping memory, identity and popular imagination through screenings and conversations. Anchored in the idea of Journeys, it considers cinema as a cultural force that moves across disciplines, leaving traces in the way stories are told and images are made.

Running alongside the festival, Old Gods and New presents new works by fifth-generation Mata ni Pachedi artists Sumit and Vivek Chitara. Translating films into the visual language of Mata ni Pachedi, the artists place cinematic icons within a centuries-old tradition, revealing how inherited practices continue to evolve.
