NamahStay hostel in Heart of Armabol beach goa to Officially Host the Third Edition of CINEMAYA Filmmaking Residency in Goa
Arambol, North Goa - NamahStay Hostel [https://www.namahstay.com/] is proud to announce that it will serve as the official host of the third edition of the CINEMAYA Filmmaking Residency, an immersive learning experience led by acclaimed Indian filmmaker Kamal Swaroop.
The residency will be hosted in Arambol, close to the creative and cultural setting of Arambol Beach, bringing together a carefully selected group of emerging filmmakers, cinema students and independent creators.
Applications for the residency will open after India's Independence Day on August 15, 2026. Limited to only 20 participants, the programme is designed to create an intimate and focused environment in which aspiring directors, writers, visual storytellers and filmmaking students can engage directly with Kamal Swaroop and develop a deeper understanding of cinema.
Known for his unconventional approach to storytelling and his influential contribution to Indian experimental cinema, Kamal Swaroop offers participants a rare opportunity to learn from a filmmaker whose work has consistently challenged established cinematic forms.
Through conversations, screenings, practical exploration and collective learning, the residency aims to encourage participants to discover their own cinematic language rather than simply follow conventional filmmaking formulas.
The third edition carries a special connection to the spirit of Independence Day. By opening applications after August 15, CINEMAYA [https://www.cinemaya.in/] and NamahStay will celebrate independent creators-filmmakers who think freely, take creative risks and remain committed to developing original voices.
"NamahStay has always believed in creating a home for artists, travellers, musicians and people who want to explore ideas together," said a NamahStay representative. "Becoming the official host of the CINEMAYA Filmmaking Residency is a natural extension of that vision. We are honoured to welcome Kamal Swaroop and 20 emerging creators to Arambol for a meaningful exchange around cinema."

Located in North Goa, NamahStay combines the energy of a backpacker hostel with the character of a creative commune, making it an ideal environment for an intensive filmmaking residency.
The collaboration also strengthens Arambol's position as a destination for alternative art, independent culture and experiential learning. Beyond the formal sessions, participants will have opportunities to exchange perspectives with fellow creators and experience the distinctive creative atmosphere of Goa.
