Vila Do Cinema
Where Cinema Finds Its Conscience.
Founded by internationally acclaimed filmmaker, writer, producer, and educator Sohel Rahman, Vila Do Cinema is a global film production and distribution company that champions the art of storytelling with purpose. Through profound, boundary-crossing narratives, we use the cinematic lens to amplify unheard voices, challenge injustice, and inspire change.
Our award-winning works span continents—from Europe to Asia—and include both narrative fiction and creative documentaries that confront the world’s most pressing issues: human rights, migration, social justice, women and children’s stories, and the everyday lives of working-class people.
At Vila Do Cinema, we believe that film is not just to entertain—but to awaken.
