Kashmir Rechords is an independent digital archive chronicling the history, culture and socio-political journey of Jammu & Kashmir, with a focus on original research, rare records and forgotten legacies.

Then the cameras and cinema halls disappeared amid turmoil. Now, with Bollywood returning, theatres reopening and the International Film Festival of Jammu & Kashmir bringing world cinema to the Valley, Kashmir’s cinematic journey has entered a new chapter.
