Lights, Camera, Action
Pick up a camera and shoot something. Barodians, if you are planning to make a movie just make it. Don't wait for the perfect circumstances because now you have all the needed encouragement available right here in the city. My city Baroda. I am talking about a totally different type of entertainment, the short films. Thanks to Hot Shorts group, started two years ago and which now helps in grooming the budding filmmakers. The short film festival and competition organized by the group on 19th July 2009 is really a genuine attempt to promote the young talents, especially when it occupies a very small niche in the media market. A fantastic platform for the beginners to showcase their real fantacies.
I am glad I got a chance to be a part of such an event, the one which was a Mega hit in the city.
Rajeev Masand, CNN IBN film critic and Anurag Kashyap, the writer-director were the jury.
Well here I would like to say some thing , I value my masters in journalism more than I did before. Its like a blessing , whether I pursue a career as a journalist or not... being a part of it feels like adding a feather to my crown.. !! Meeting big people will become easy as I ll be given a priority. It just feels great. So , back to what I was saying... I met the jury...personally as well... at Surya palace, their stay in the city. ( we the students of journalism faculty tried our best to get a chance to interact with them for few minutes and we finally did it)
Rajeev Masand was very interactive and friendly. He was very encouraging. It was good chit chatting with him. Anurag seemed a little tired and busy but I got five minutes to interact with him.. I guess it was enough with the way the questions were answered.
About the fest...there were films on vivid subjects. Good themes , moods, feelings and emotions were nicely crafted and created. The films I liked were- bought to you by.., brain drain( which won the best film) , recording, jhatka, angel within and I believe I can fly( the second best).
It was a great evening to remember. And I wish to see more efforts like these in future which can boosts the young minds and help them create better and quality art.
( Thinking ...... why not participate next time ) will have to work hard then.. but lemme start with my camera now.. may be I can come up with some nice concept or a masterpiece by an accident !! hehe!!
