ARTIST’S CINEMA
Summer Film Programme

Daily Screenings: 2 — 8 PM
Curated by Dr. Shwetal Ashvin Patel
Jaipur Centre for Art (JCA) presents Artists’ Cinema / Artist’s Cinema — a six-week programme of bold, poetic, and boundary-blurring films that celebrate cinema as both artistic expression and collective experience.
One of a kind in India, Artists' Cinema / Artist's Cinema is the country's only free, large-scale summer film programme dedicated to cinema as an artistic and cultural medium. Building on the success of its acclaimed inaugural edition, the 2026 programme returns with an expanded international vision — bringing together a significantly wider network of global institutions and cultural partners, reaffirming Jaipur's growing position on the international art and cinema map.
Spanning experimental shorts, artist films, documentaries, and landmark feature films from South Asia and across the world.

Jaipur Centre for Art (JCA) in collaboration with RMZ Foundation announces Salt Lines, an exhibition by artist duo Hylozoic/Desires — Himali Singh Soin and David Soin Tappeser. Opening on 3 July 2026 and on view through 9 August 2026 at the JCA within the City Palace complex, the exhibition travels to Jaipur following its showing at the Dr Bhau Daji Lad Museum in Mumbai earlier this year.
Salt Lines excavates the largely erased from history of the Inland Customs Line: a 4,000-kilometre barrier — 2,500 kilometres of which was a living hedge of plants — built by the East India Company and the British Raj to enforce a devastating colonial monopoly on salt. Also known as the Great Hedge of India, this vast border traversed the Indian subcontinent, separating the two to prevent the movement of salt.
