Production is an important component of the Centre’s work. CMCS's video documentaries have been widely disseminated and screened at leading national and international film festivals and other forums. Educational institutions, activist groups, government and non-governmental organisations and campaigns use them. The Centre’s productions have been archived in many library collections, including the US Library of Congress. It has to its credit, thirteen awards at national and international film festivals. The themes explored include gender, communal amity, environment and natural resource management, the city, media and identity, to name a few. The focus has been on marginalised groups and issues concerning them, in keeping with the vision and mission of the Institute.

Forthcoming areas of focus include Globalisation and Marginalised Groups, Disaster Management and Rehabilitation, Path-breaking Initiatives for People’s Empowerment, Identity and Power and Dialogue on Development
