The Cinema of Resistance (CoR) Society is the LSESU chapter of a movement to bring people-centric cinema to the public as a means for social change.

The CoR began in India 11 years ago, and has carried out initiatives throughout the country – from big cities to small towns – through community screenings, film clubs and universities. To support a platform for films about social justice, the CoR specifically highlights independent and documentary films (in contrast to mainstream feature films).

Through film screenings, the CoR provides a platform for activist film-makers and marginalized groups facing injustices as well as a space for a dialogue between these groups and students. The CoR LSE chapter uses film as focal point to bring the LSE student community together to campaign for social justice and to promote a transnational solidarity among activists that seek to use film as means to demand justice.
