\nThe MAMI Year Round Programme launched in 2016 in Mumbai, is a\u00a0one of a kind film programme\u00a0started with the belief that it is not enough to have a week-long film festival.\u00a0The Academy now hosts weekly screenings, workshops and conversation sessions for film lovers in the country. This has given us a year-long imprint and presence as opposed to presence only for a week in the year. Through this unique curation, passionate movie nuts can sign up and get free access to the best and latest Indian and International films throughout the year.\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nWhat makes the Delhi Edition even more special is that it will happen at the newly launched PVR ECX, Chanakyapuri. The property holds great nostalgic value for Delhiites as it is the brand new avatar of the iconic Chanakya cinema showcasing a wide spectrum of great content that is\u00a0the cornerstone of\u00a0MAMI.\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nTill date, The MAMI Year Round Programme in Mumbai has screened over 40 films which include Lady Bird, The Square, Zama, The Shape of Water, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missourie and Village Rockstars. There are about 7000+ members enrolled for this programme.<\/span>
