HAUZ Talkies has been an initiative born out of a simple, powerful thought — to create active, meaningful conversations around films, animation and cinema across geographies! Coz let’s be honest! How often do we actually get to nerd out on movies and visuals the way we see them! Conceived and brought to life by Pranav Hola @guacamallu and Kritika Kaul @kaulsaab_ along with our new facilitator Dan K George @humiddragonslayer , HAUZ Talkies finds its home at HAUZ by Shunya — a space built on nurturing creativity and dialogue. In our most recent screening — the second episode of HAUZ Talkies — we achieved exactly what we set out to do: not just watch films, but sit with them, question them, unpack them, and allow conversations to unfold organically. HAUZ Talkies intends to continue building a growing community of filmmakers, storytellers, and cinema enthusiasts through more screenings, workshops, and collaborative initiatives. Watch this space for more ✨

Animated Films Curation | 15th February | 6:00 PM at Hauz by Shunya Hauz Talkies invites you to an evening of animated short films from across the world, curated by @eisprung Cornelia Gassler — a Switzerland-based material designer and researcher with a deep love for the poetry of animation. During her exchange at NID Ahmedabad, she shared a selection of her favourite Swiss animations. The programme is further enriched with recommendations by filmmaker @veronimon_monta Veronica L. Montaño (Evans Need). This screening will be facilitated by @guacamallu Pranav Holla, Dan K George @humiddragonslayer and Kritika Kaul @kaulsaab_ as part of Hauz Talkies — a film club initiative by Hauz by Shunya that brings together cinema, conversation, and community. Through curated screenings and open dialogue, we explore films as cultural texts, creative inspiration, and shared experiences. Optional Contribution: ₹200/- Join us for an evening of moving images, global perspectives, and meaningful conversations.

Last year, Hauz Talkies, an initiative by Hauz by Shunya came alive with @guacamallu @kaulsaab_ — bringing together independent films from across the country and creating space for meaningful conversations around them. It was an evening of exchange, perspective, and shared emotion, and it truly became an event to be remembered. The films are curated by @guacamallu Pranav Holla, whose eye for independent cinema and nuanced storytelling has shaped the identity of this club. With a deep appreciation for powerful narratives and emerging voices, he brings together films that stay with you long after the credits roll. Our next screening is happening on Sunday, 15th February, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. We’re looking forward to everyone being a part of it. Let’s come together. Let’s enjoy great films. Let’s develop a taste for meaningful cinema — and expand this community in every way we can.

Meet your comic anchors for Santa’s Village Flea at Hauz by Shunya on 20th December—a festive marketplace bringing together homegrown creators, cosy Christmas energy, live performances, food stalls, and a whole lot of holiday cheer. DAN GEORGE @humiddragonslayer From engineering to linguistics, Dan has abandoned many things in life—but the stage is not one of them. He has performed stand-up comedy to audiences across Kerala and hosted open mics in some of Kochi’s favourite cafés. If you’re looking for a sharp mind, quick wit, and guaranteed laughter, Dan’s got you covered. ASHAN AMEER @acoustic_aniki Registered in Kozhikode and now transferred to Kochi, Ashan is on a personal quest to find moments of bliss amidst the chaos of video games, social gatherings, and the madness of everyday life. By day, he works in product management. By night, he transforms into a high-energy emcee, determined to keep every crowd entertained—and quietly hoping everyone is laughing with him rather than at him. When he isn’t managing products, he’s managing his mental health by chronically gaming and passionately supporting Manchester United (which arguably requires even more emotional strength). Together, Dan and Ashan will bring the perfect mix of humour, energy, and festive chaos to Santa’s Village Flea—an evening of community, creativity, and Christmas magic. See you on 20th December at Hauz by Shunya, Kathrikadavu, Kaloor
