Film Screenings & Film Festivals in Jaipur
1 events coming up across Jaipur — mostly film (1).
Jaipur's best-known film venue is a cinema, not a festival. Raj Mandir, just off MI Road at Panch Batti, opened on 1 June 1976 and is still a single screen with an Art Moderne lobby that audiences arrive early to see. The festival calendar is led by the Jaipur International Film Festival, whose 19th edition is scheduled for 8 to 12 January 2027. The organisers describe it as more selective this time and aimed at film-industry professionals and nominated film-makers, so check what access is open before planning around it. Elsewhere, Jawahar Kala Kendra programmes screenings and talks, film clubs show independent and classic titles in cafés and studios, and the multiplexes in World Trade Park and the other malls carry new releases. This page lists film festivals, special screenings, film-club nights and film-making workshops in Jaipur.
