A private club for
film, media & cinema.
Batmandir is a global private members club built around moving image — a place for the people who make, fund, program, and love cinema. The work shows in our theatres, museums, and exhibitions; the club is where the rest happens.
Our front door — exhibitions, museums, and documentary premieres, open to anyone who wants in.

Complimentary & dependent passes
Founders and corporate members carry complimentary S2 passes to bring their circle inside — a way to seat guests, teams, and talent without waiting on the 6,182 cap.
Passes are invitation-only too: the sponsor requests each name, and Batmandir vets and reserves the right to decline. They don't count against the 6,182 membership cap — tied to a parent membership, reset every year, and don't renew on their own.
Partner-sponsored membership
Batmandir's corporate partners (S4) can nominate people for S2 and cover their initiation and dues — often in exchange for an interview or feature. We promote those openings and send applicants to the partner to apply. It's a free way into the club, earned through the partner rather than paid.
More partners soon. Sponsorship terms and the exact benefits at each level are being finalized.
Batmandir membership is personal and non-transferable. Geuses — our membership tokens — may be used in lieu of the cash fee at any level. Fees shown are current and set in the golden ratio the club is built on. Questions? membership@batmandir.com.
