Social Justice Film Festival returns in 2018 once again in partnership with MARUPAKKAM to explore different aspects of social justice. MARUPAKKAM is a media activist group that screens and disseminates documentary films across South India.
 
This festival brings together filmmakers to encourage interaction and engagement through films and events. The festival will include programmes with experts who will bring attention to social justice concerns through the stories of groups and people who are working for a better future. Shorts and feature-length documentaries and narrative films from India and around the World will be screened.  The festival will showcase works that challenge society structures all over the globe on a macro and micro level. 15 long and short documentaries from Germany, France, Canada, Mangolia, Indonesia, Kenya and India will be screened.

Filmmakers Arul Ezhilan, Malini Jeevaratnam, Nachi will present their films and will take part in the post screening interactions. Guest lectures on Social Justice will be delivered by Dr Binitha Thampi (Associate Professor), Prema Revathi (Journalist) and Imayam (Writer) as part of the film festival.
