Abstract: Cinema and architecture are both powerful tools for storytelling. Thearchitecture of afilm institute plays a key role in shaping the creative journey of future filmmakers. In India, regional cinema reflects the cultural identity and traditions of its state. However, very few film institutes represent these identities through architecture.This paper explores how regional cinematic aesthetics—specifically from Marathicinema—can influence the design of a film institute.By analyzing the emotional, spatial, and visual language of regional films, architects can create institutions that resonate deeply with local culture. This report studies the intersection between cinema and space, suggesting how film education spaces can go beyond functionality to become immersive, culturally inspired environments. The study includes literature, architectural principles, and a conceptual case study inspired by the nuances of Marathi identity. The goal is to blend regional expression with spatial functionality in design, setting a new direction for cinematic architecture in India
