Artistic Beginning of World Around. . . . . . . . . . . . 22 Jan, 2010

The 102nd session and the first world around of 2010 began with a film screening. What could be a better way to start off after winter vacations?

Firaaq, the directorial venture of Nandita Das, starring Naseeruddin Shah, Deepti Naval, Paresh Rawal, Raghubir Yadav, Sanjay Suri, Shahana Goswami, Amruta Subhash and Tisca Chopra was chosen for the film analysis. Nandita Das has already proved herself as an actor of quality.

Firaaq is an attempt to bring out those characters whose lives completely changed after Gujarat Hindu- Muslim riot in 2002.The story is based on 2002 violence in Gujarat and its effect on the ordinary people. Firaaq literally means separation and quest.

A critically acclaimed award winning film allowed the NISCORTians to critically analyse the film. The screening helped the students to analyse the techniques and powerful storyline. Movies are generally designed for audiences to smoothly absorb the story. But being a media student one should be deeply immersed in the action.

The film screening at Niscort was aimed at making our students look more perceptively at a movie than general audiences. The main motive of Film analysis was to encourage our student's observation. They also got a chance to think in a diverse manner and express it in front of others.

Fr. Jude Botelho, Director of NISCORT, discussed about the storyline and the effective way of conveying message without even a single scene of brutal killing, yet it clearly showed the impact of violence on us in someway or the other. The students put forward their opinions that showed their attitude towards instability of our society. The screening was a good attempt to train media students because examining a film critically will help them to develop many new ideas and broaden their thought process.
