TCS STUDENTS ATTEND A COMMUNITY FILM FESTIVAL TITLED “BAD AND BEAUTIFUL WORLD”
The U.S. Consulate General in collaboration with Prayasam organized a community film festival titled “Bad and Beautiful World”, which is aiming to highlight the social issues like human trafficking, gender-based violence, and peer pressure.. Prayasam is an NGO based in Salt Lake which trains students in film making and it’s other aspects of film making. It works under the moto of “youth for change”. The film’s shown to the students were short films made by the students of Prayasam. In total, eight short films were shown whose titles were as follows:
- – Batil
- – Chaal
- – Chaal
- – Chodoi Feburary (14th February)
- – Dolachal
- – Tanapoden
- – Inamorta
- – Chorabali
These films (except Batil and Inamorta) dealt with issues which teenagers face in their daily life, for example, peer pressure, relationship issues, confusion and the desire to become famous.
Batil dealt with the concept of how nowadays the young generation don’t value the older generation. They are seen as a burden on them and not a blessing. Inamorta dealt with the concept of smoking and suggested that how people easily fall in the trap by thinking that smoking relives them from pressure but in time it will actually relieve them of their life.
Some of the movies made by Prayasam would be premiering at Mumbai Film Festival. Another interesting point seen was that they have collaborated with Google who has given them tablets with the help of which they run “Tab Talk” and the young film makers go door to door for interactive sessions.
Overall it was a delightful experience.
