Over the past 4 months, weโ€™ve conducted Mastermind Kerala 1.0 over Zoom.

One of the topics chosen in the final heat of the event was this: Movie Theatres in Kerala.

Hereโ€™s a thread on interesting info I found while setting these questions.

#Malayalamcinema #Malayalamfilms
1. The first permanent movie theatre in #Kerala was set up in #Thrissur by Kattookkaran Varunny Joseph (as Jos Bioscope Projections), following his bioscope shows at #ThrissurPooram. It exists today as Jos Theatre in the heart of the city in the Round. ImageImage
2. One of the projectors used by Joseph was exhibited for a long time at #Sapna in Thrissur, a theatre founded by his family. It was finally handed over to the Kerala State Chalachitra Academy in 2020. Sapna, incidentally, took life as Rama Varma theatre in the 1930s. ImageImage

It is horrifying to see an animal rights debate being used to push a communal agenda and target the #BJP's 2 pet hates: #Muslims and #Kerala. Don't fall for their misinformation campaign, read the facts, people ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿพ
The cleverest part of this propaganda campaign is that if you clarify facts, your statements are misrepresented as a justification of animal abuse. So "the elephant was not FED the pineapple" is met with, "are you saying it is okay to set such traps?" (Cont'd)
Or "it happened in #Palakkad, not #Malappuram" is met with "are you saying it is okay to do this in Palakkad?" Actually, what we're saying very bluntly is: "We understand that you are obsessed with Malappuram because it is a #Muslim majority district?" (Cont'd)
