Alipur Films, named after a district in Calcutta, is a forward thinking
film production company with a conscience.

Established in the UK by Ashvin Kumar in 2002 with the mandate of bringing Indian stories to an international audience.

We live in exiting times, cinematically, where independent and foreign cinema have acquired a commercial and artistic logic of their own.

As India joins the world economy, it makes a transition from a feudal
and socialist past to a capitalistic meritocracy. En route it throws up
contradictions and conflicts who's protagonists are an upwardly mobile
critical mass, a generation post-colonial and irreverent, creating and
negotiating popular cultures like never before - potentially compelling
cinema that could have resonances the world over.

At Alipur Films we want to make these movies as we look forward to a
borderless world in international cinema.

Our first step is to develop strong scripts by incubating talent in an
international writer's residence, based in India, to create a slate of
commercially viable, artistically integral films for us to produce.

Two of Ashvin Kumar's films The Great Indian Itch and a feature
remake of The Road To Ladakh are being developed along these lines.
