Placements: The institute has promised good placements. The college is also in association with leading festivals. Screenwriting course and film art course is most opted for in the college. Disclaimer: This PDF is auto-generated based on the information available on Shiksha as on 30-Sep-2021. Infrastructure: I haven't explored the entirety of the campus due to the lockdown, but there are great photos on Shiksha's page. Facilities offered by the campus are quite good. Faculty: Faculty members are very helpful. All of them are passionate about their own craft and also teaching students. Even we have originally started with only online classes, but the experience in terms of theory classes have been quite informative. Guest faculty members are also very considerate and helpful. R Rahul Bhatia | B.A. in Multimedia (Screen Writing) - Batch of 2023 Verified Reviewed on 27 Dec 2020 4.2 Placements 4 Infrastructure 4 Faculty & Course Curriculum 5 Crowd & Campus Life 4 It is a great place to learn about the film industry. Placements: This college belongs to the great director, Mr Ramesh Sippy, so it is easier to get your foot inside the film industry through this college. They have links to various key people in Bollywood, and as a result, can help their students get a secured job in the industry. Infrastructure: The college is relatively new. So, the infrastructure is good enough and will get better with the coming years. The campus has all the basic facilities and is located in the University of Mumbai. The management is very open and does act on the demands of students if some key facility is missing. Faculty: The course curriculum followed here is the best. You won't find such deeply researched subject and passionate lecturers anywhere else unless you are in an elite film school like FTI which is a great thing. All the faculty members are very passionate in their craft and encourage discussions on topics the course delves into. If you want a college that takes film making seriously, this is it. D Darpan Bhardwaj | B.A. in Multimedia (Film Art Direction) - Batch of 2020 Verified Reviewed on 15 Sep 2020 3.2 Placements 3 Infrastructure 3 Faculty & Course Curriculum 4 Crowd & Campus Life 3 I am a filmmaker, and RSACE has played an integral role in it. Placements: The college has promised the students to provide 100% placement assistance, but in my opinion, it is the duty of the students too to be deserving for that opportunity. Just because you are a student of some film institute and you have paid fees doesn't mean that you deserve to get placed in one of the top film production houses irrespective of your skill, attitude and dedication. Having a filmmaking degree and being well- trained are two different things. If you are planning to join this college, then I suggest opting Disclaimer: This PDF is auto-generated based on the information available on Shiksha as on 30-Sep-2021. for it as the college would support you. Infrastructure: Our college provides every facility in the classrooms like enough space, proper lighting, air-conditioning, whiteboard, projector, computer system, etc. We do have a well-equipped studio room for shoots, workshops, masterclasses and for various meetings. Faculty: Faculty members in our college are from the industry, and that's very important to have as we get to know their experiences too as well. Guest lectures are very helpful for me personally. Being in a classroom with limited students has allowed us to interact with the professional faculty members better than other colleges with more than 40-50 students in one classroom. U Uzwal Jha | B.A. in Multimedia (Film Art Direction) - Batch of 2020 Verified Reviewed on 25 Feb 2018 3.3 Placements 3 Infrastructure 3 Faculty & Course Curriculum 4 Crowd & Campus Life 3 Learn from the best to be the best. Placements: The first batch started in 2017. But 100% placement will be there. Students also get a chance to work as a trainee (intern) on the sets too. Ramesh sir has his own production house, where we get to know more work. So, there will be placements and internship both. Infrastructure: The infrastructure is not great, but it is good. There are AC classrooms. The university has basketball court, football ground, cricket ground and gym. There are two canteens; both are good and hygienic. The campus is full of greenery. Government bus is available to Santacruz (E) for every hour. Faculty: Teachers are really good. More practical work is the best part of this course. Every Saturday, movie screening is done, and sometimes there is an interaction with the director. We get the best guidance with Ramesh Sippy. The course is very useful to get into the entertainment industry.

Placements: I am in the first year. So I don't have placement experience. The college is inaugurated in this year, so the senior batches are not present.

They are giving the personal attention towards all the students. Infrastructure: The best about Ramesh Sippy academy of cinema and entertainment is that it is located in Mumbai University Kalina Plus. We have fantastic facilities with ACs in the classrooms, studio hall for shooting which has a complete setup and gives a perfect feeling of the shot. Amazing experienced faculty, it is quite peaceful and safe, the canteen is nearby with delicious food, and there are more than 5 canteens in the university. It had hostel. The college had 2 projectors and 2 screenings. It also has 12 high configuration computers. Faculty: The faculty is amazing. We have highly experienced teachers who belong to the film industry itself. The faculty is quite understanding and interactive with us; they allow us to keep our point and considers it. We have different teachers for different subjects. Maximum teachers are guest teachers. The curriculum is just perfect in the first year which is a crucial year, where we get to learn everything which is related to the film industry. Introduction to filmmaking, fundamentals of drawing, acting, production, communication, production design, photography, thinking process, script writing, storyboarding, sound, and many small things. In the second and third year, it is the specialisation of what a student wants to do weather film art, VFX, animation, screenwriting and production. The three years are divided into six semesters, and 75% is practical, and the rest 25% is the theory. Other: The best part about this filmmaking college is that it is a proper Mumbai university bachelor degree in filmmaking which you rarely find across the country. There are diplomas and private degrees, but this is the government degree in filmmaking. It is affiliated with Garware and Mumbai University. It is a full-time course, and it provides compulsory internship and 100% job placement. Disclaimer: This PDF is auto-generated based on the information available on Shiksha as on 30-Sep-2021..

    Kervan – International Journal of Afro-Asiatic Studies n. 21 (2017) Item Girls and Objects of Dreams: Why Indian Censors Agree to Bold Scenes in Bollywood Films Tatiana Szurlej The article presents the social background, which helped Bollywood film industry to develop the so-called “item numbers”, replace them by “dream sequences”, and come back to the “item number” formula again. The songs performed by the film vamp or the character, who takes no part in the story, the musical interludes, which replaced the first way to show on the screen all elements which are theoretically banned, and the guest appearances of film stars on the screen are a very clever ways to fight all the prohibitions imposed by Indian censors. Censors found that film censorship was necessary, because the film as a medium is much more popular than literature or theater, and therefore has an impact on all people. Indeed, the viewers perceive the screen story as the world around them, so it becomes easy for them to accept the screen reality and move it to everyday life. That’s why the movie, despite the fact that even the very process of its creation is much more conventional than, for example, the theater performance, seems to be much more “real” to the audience than any story shown on the stage. Therefore, despite the fact that one of the most dangerous elements on which Indian censorship seems to be extremely sensitive is eroticism, this is also the most desired part of cinema. Moreover, filmmakers, who are tightly constrained, need at the same time to provide pleasure to the audience to get the invested money back, so they invented various tricks by which they manage to bypass censorship.

  • 100 Essential Indian Films, by Rohit K. Dasgupta and Sangeeta Datta
    Alphaville: Journal of Film and Screen Media no. 21, 2021, pp. 239–243 DOI: https://doi.org/10.33178/alpha.21.21 100 Essential Indian Films, by Rohit K. Dasgupta and Sangeeta Datta. Rowman & Littlefield, 2019, 283 pp. Darshana Chakrabarty Among the many film industries of South Asia, the Indian film industry is the most prolific, specifically Hindi language film, more commonly known as Bollywood, which produces almost four hundred films annually. Bollywood films dominate the national market. These films have also been exported successfully to parts of the Middle East, Africa, and the Asiatic regions of the former Soviet Union, as well as to Canada, Australia, the UK, and the US. The success of these films abroad is largely down to the presence of Indian communities living in these regions; as the conventional melodramatic plot structures, dance numbers and musicals tend to deter Western audiences. Within India and abroad “the traditional division between India’s popular cinema and its ‘art’ or ‘parallel’ cinema, modelled after India's most prestigious film-director Satyajit Ray, often produced the uncritical assumption that Indian films are either ‘Ray or rubbish’” (Chaudhuri 137). Recently, Indian film criticism has begun focusing on popular Indian cinema, assessing the multi-discursive elements of the cinematic creations. Bollywood “gained prominence within academia due to its growing popularity and unique manner of glorifying Indian familial values” (Sinha 3). From a history and origin of Indian motion pictures to selecting films that best represent the diversity, integrity and heritage of the nation, 100 Essential Indian Films by Rohit K. Dasgupta and Sangeeta Dutta is a concise book on Indian cinema for connoisseurs and for film enthusiasts taking an interest in India’s classic and contemporary cinema.

  • Recycle Industry: the Visual Economy of Remakes in Contemporary Bombay Film Culture by Ramna Walia “Audiences Now Want New Stories
    Recycle Industry: The Visual Economy of Remakes in Contemporary Bombay Film Culture by Ramna Walia “Audiences now want new stories. The problem is Bollywood has no tradition of producing original screenplays" —Chander Lall, lawyer “The brain is a recycling bin, not a creative bin. What goes in comes out in different ways” —Mahesh Bhatt, filmmaker and producer hus spoke filmmaker and producer Mahesh Bhatt when Mr. Chander Lall, the legal representative of two of Hollywood's major studios issued “warning Tletters” to film producers in Bombay who were poised to “indianize” a series of Hollywood films.1 While Lall referred to Bollywood’s widespread practice of making uncredited remakes of Hollywood films as “tradition,” Bhatt defiantly saw these remakes as a symptom of a larger mechanism of recycling material. In fact, the influence of other cinemas on Bombay films was reflected narratively and in other aspects of filmmaking such as fashion, poster art etc. Thus, at the center of this debate was the issue of Bombay cinema's identity as a bastardized clone of Hollywood and the counter argument that noted the distinctiveness of Bombay film culture by highlighting the “difference” in the manner of production. In view of these unacknowledged networks of exchange, the term “remake” was often used within popular discourse as an underhanded accusation of plagiarism against Bombay films. Moreover, because most of Bombay cinema’s remakes of Hollywood films were un-credited, they never secured the legitimacy attained in Hollywood and world cinemas wherein this process was seen as a reinterpretation of an earlier work or an updated modus operandi.
