The first Malayalam film, "Balan," was released in 1938. However, it was not until the 1950s that the industry started to gain momentum. The early films were largely based on mythological and historical stories, with some social dramas thrown in. The 1950s and 1960s saw the emergence of notable filmmakers like G.R. Rao and P.A. Thomas, who made significant contributions to the industry.

During the golden era of the 1960s and 1970s, filmmakers drew direct inspiration from pioneering Malayalam writers like Vaikom Muhammad Basheer, Thakazhi Sivasankara Pillai, and M. T. Vasudevan Nair. Masterpieces such as Chemmeen (1965), based on Thakazhi’s novel, brought the lives, superstitions, and struggles of coastal fishing communities to the silver screen.

The society’s first publication, the Chitralekha Film Souvenir , was the first‑ever serious work on the craft, aesthetics, and technical aspects of cinema in Malayalam. This film society movement, which soon spread even to remote villages, became the bedrock upon which Kerala’s vibrant film culture was built. : Through streaming platforms
