Kerala’s answer to Netflix: Launch its own OTT platform called CSpace

The Kerala government is set to launch India’s first government-backed OTT platform called CSpace on Thursday in its bid to provide space to low-budget and independent films and check what it called “growing imbalances” in content selection and propagation.

According to local media, as many as 42 films will be screened on the platform initially, which will be managed by the Kerala State Film Development Corporation (KSFDC).

This includes 35 feature films, six documentaries, and one short film. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan will launch the platform at Kairali Theatre in Thiruvananthapuram on Thursday.
