Enlighten

About Enlighten

Enlighten builds audiences. The audience is always there, and we are the audience too. We make the work, and the way it reaches the right people.

Story

Enlighten is a film society that puts the classics back on the big screen, with Brooke Bond Taj Mahal: India's largest. It is a home-video label for world cinema, a distributor of independent Indian film, cinemas and festivals, Tata Sky World Screen, film productions and a brand studio. One company with three practices, Brand Studio, Experiences and Labs, and one aim: to bring people and great work together.

What we hold to

The mark

Drawn with Ink Inc, Mumbai. A beam of light rises through closed rings, the rings of film. Where it opens, things that were out of reach come into view. Nineteen rings, open at the top: one sign for the film society and the distribution company around it.
