Riverbank Studios

We are a film production company based in New Delhi, India for the past 35 years. Set up as a fully integrated documentary and motion picture film production unit, Riverbank Studios was the first of its kind in Northern India. Riverbank Studios was started in 1973 by Mike H. Pandey; internationally known filmmaker. Today, a team of committed professionals is the driving force that constitutes the Riverbank spirit. The constant endeavor is to bring about awareness to shoulder the responsibility that rests on the human race. The creative impulse at Riverbank has always been governed by a deep-rooted affinity to the natural order of the living world. Our filmmaking experience has been diverse and we have a wide spectrum of productions including films on wildlife and the environment, corporate films and advertisements, feature films, television programming, nature series for national television and socially motivated awareness campaigns. Over the years however, our focus and commitment has been towards films on the natural world. Shooting all over India we have developed a tremendous bank of footage and stories that represent various facets of the country’s incredible natural and social heritage. Our production "The Last Migration-wild elephant capture in Sarguja" was the first Asian film to win the world’s most prestigious award – The Green Oscar - Panda Award at the Wildscreen, 1994. The film "Shores of Silence-whale sharks in India" was also the Winner of the Green Oscar - Panda Award in the year – the second Oscar for Riverbanks.
