The workshop, which was held between March 1-3 aimed to teach women from backward and tribal areas the art of filmmaking. The mentors and students collectively worked to illustrate the nuts and bolts of videography to the 28 women participating in the workshop.
The objective was to enable them to present their experience with climate change through the medium of films. ‘Climate Change I’m living it’ an anthology of six films that were made by the women during the workshop will be screened on March 17 at the festival.
The festival will simultaneously hold ‘The Lives She Explores’, an exhibition of photographs scrutinizing the lives of women living at the edge of India’s socio-economic strata.
The Film Festival is geared up to be a visual and intellectual treat, while celebrating and empowering women through the potent medium of films.
