Announcing...!

bsiteI suppose there is some relief in being able to say that we are finally open.

Announcing the birth of the DigitAll Movement...


Symbiosis Institute of Media and Communication is organising a South East Asian Digital Film Festival called the ‘DAM fest or the DigitALL Movement Festival’ from the 18th of January 2008 to 20th of January 2008.

This is an exclusively digital film festival. This means that only films that have been made digitally (digital video and animation) would be screened and highlighted on this forum. The Festival would include both screenings and workshops/seminars conducted by experts in this field. Some of the experts we are in contact are: Mr. Ram Madhwani, Mr. Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, Mr. Anand Patwardhan, Mr. Mike Pandey, Mr. Govind Nihalani and the likes.

The films showcased in the festival are divided in two categories:

Competitive: The category would be open to all amateur and professional film makers. The films would be categorized on the basis of their duration.
Non Competitive: Films made by guest filmmakers and other major films being made in the digital medium would be included here.

These would be further divided as :

• Fiction
• Non Fiction
• Animation and Special Effects

The seminars being organized would thus help amateur and student filmmakers to understand the medium and how to go about making digital films. So everyone's invited to participate fully and whole heartedly and hence strengthen the ‘DigitALL Movement’.
