Rai Foundation's College of
Media and Communication (CMAC) organized a pre launch screening
of 'Bollywood Bosses' of History Channel and CINEMAC Short /
Documentary Film Competition on February 14, 2007 at Delhi
Campus. Mr. Joy Bhattacharya, Vice president, programming of the
History Channel, Mr. Raza Haider, President of Siksha - a
Development Communication Organization and Head of the Dept. -
Cinema Studies at School of Communication & Cine Arts and
Ms. Sabiha Farhat, Documentary Filmmaker were jury members for
the CINEMAC Short / Documentary Film Competition.
Mr. Bhattacharya in his principle lecture told students that
they have made a difficult choice by opting for media, which is
not essentially all about glamour and money. It takes hard work
and passion to excel in the field. The pre-launch screening of
'Bollywood Bosses', a production of History Channel, was
appreciated by students a lot. It's followed by award ceremony.
CINEMAC, an all student venture, at CMAC is a film club that
screens documentaries, short films, Classics and Contemporary
Cinema from Bollywood to Hollywood. This is the first time that
CINEMAC in four years of its existence organized this
competition. It involved CMAC alumna work that they produced
during their stint with college; along with the current
students' work. Kunal Pruthi's directorial venture "I was
scared of Ram' won the first prize. Kunal is Programming Head of
104 Radio Tarang. His film touched sensitive religious issues
with great deal of sensibility. Abhijeet Singh's 'Manzar' and
Rohit Sarkar's 'Calling to My Will' won the second and third
prizes. The distinguished jury members Mr. Haider and Ms. Farhat
gave crucial feedback on all the nominations. The CMAC students
enjoyed the program, which offered an objective view on their
work. CMAC Dean Ms Kakul Rizvi showing satisfaction over the
success of the event said the College would broaden the spectrum
of this competition by inviting larger participation next time.
