Founded on 14 February, 1981, the Eisenstein Cine Club has supported and promoted a socially responsible cinema in all its manifestations – documentary films, films rooted in the interpreting history, films exploring human relationships and human values threatened by various aggressive forces, films offering interpretations of life, the films representing classics of literature, often in experimental terms. While it has focused on masters of cinema like Eisenstein, Pudovkin, Dovzhenko, Kozintsev, Gerasimov, Chukhrai, Bondarchuk, Tarkovsky, Paradzhanov, Konchalovsky, Mikhalkov, Jancso, Szabo, Kachyna, Menzel, Fabri, Meszaros, Alea, Truffaut, Godard, Bunuel, Hansel, Rademakers and others, several of them from Russia and Eastern Europe, it has sought to establish connection between the cinema as it has evolved elsewhere and the living traditions of film-making in India.
The Club has played host to film-makers like Styajit Ray, Mrinal Sen and Adoor Gopalakrishnan, the major figures of the Indian cinema, and their films. The Club has also served as a show window for the new and experimental films made by struggling, imaginative filmmakers from all over India. Late Mr. Satyajit Ray was its first President. Mr. Ray himself designed the logo of the Club.
