(2019-20) 3 ABSTRACT The impact of the media in shaping one’s character and behaviors has been discussed for several years. There has been several thoughts and perceptions with respect to the possible impact the media can have on its watcher. By and large, because of their inescapability, media are considered to play an important part in our lives. Many people agree that media is remarkably an instructor of social norms, particularly to youngsters (Wynns,2006). As described by Wynns and Rosenfeld media has an effective role in shaping the states of mind, qualities and practices of its watchers. It is agreed that children’s and youngsters are more prone to be affected. Children’s Film Society, India is one such producer of children’s movies, which have significantly played a vital role in shaping children’s character, behavior etc. Especially, CFSI is committed to strengthening the children’s film movement within India and promoting Indian produced children’s films across the globe. It has also been producing children’s content including feature films, short films and documentaries for the past 60 years. It has produced in excess of 300 children’s films since its inception in 1955. Besides CFSI which produces films that are exclusively meant for children audience, there have been several films made by the producers in India and abroad which fall under the category of children’s film. These are disseminated to the children through theatrical shows, screenings in national and international children’s film festivals and on satellite digital platforms. Due to the increased use of Internet technology by children, the consumption of digital filmic content by children has been a constant concern of parents and teachers. At the same time when the joint family system is withering and nuclear families have become prevalent, children’s recourse and consumption of films on different platforms have increased as a source of recreation and alternate source of storytelling. The objective of this present study was to document the status quo of scientific study about children’s film in India through the lens of critical perspective. Based on this literature review, dissertation aims to provide some insights into current trends, strength, and weaknesses of the topic’s coverage as well as to structure the existing body of research. This study constitutes a basis for future research about children’s films in India. Hence, the analysis focuses on the main objectives such as i. to find out the kind of content that could be planned by CFSI for addressing the 4 preferences of the children. ii. to find out the kind of content the entertainment industry could plan on creating films for children. The thesis investigates research questions on what is the role and impact of Children’s Film Society activities as a provider of Public service/Public good namely children’s films? The primary focus of this academic endeavour was a scientific study using qualitative method to draw a more comprehensive picture. This study also includes scientific literature in a broader sense, e.g. statistics, official reports, economic depictions and other material presenting evidence that goes beyond individual opinions and assertions often found in trade journals or other popular sources. Use of film clippings has been acknowledged in the study. The dissertation explores the wider perspective of children film being a public good and its dissemination to the beneficiaries i.e. children, being a public service. In this regard, the dissertation explores the relevance of CFSI activities and outreach programs and its aim to be self-sustainable in the long run for attainment of which it is imperative that it churns out original children films that are market friendly and have wide national and international appeal. The dissertation examines the constitutional tenets of CFSI and its stated mission, and the bottlenecks it faces in personnel, infrastructural facilities and strategies and recommend changes that will reinvigorate CFSI into a modern film making institution. Also, the study entails a critical analysis on the present production and marketing scenario at CFSI, identify bottlenecks and present solutions for CFSI projects and recommend activities to achieve its modernizing goals. This dissertation focuses on a systematic approach to make them a part of children’s curriculum, as a result of which a positive change can be brought about in the society. The findings from this would help children films and its development in modifying the norms of the social system. This would ensure a place for children’s film in the mainstream popular films. Children can be encouraged to analyze films to understand moral and ethical values. Children’s films need encouragement to create a positive ambiance and ethos in the country, which would enrich its culture and social structure by educating the future generations about personal and social values. The study suggests that CFSI needs to use new age tools and platforms to both produce and market its films. It is also important that CFSI can attract external funding, new partnerships with filmmakers and film institutions. It needs to produce and sell its niche 5 products as strength and build long-term brand loyalties. Further, dissertation recommends measures to bring about sustainability. For CFSI to dispense its role with vigour and clarity, there must be new vision statement for CFSI. This vision perspective must essentially be underscored by the need to create compelling, engaging and value-based audio-visual content in modern cinematic idiom for the children of India. It also suggests that the name of the organization should be modified from a Society to a Trust or a Foundation. All over the world television remains the most useful distribution platform for children content. CFSI should work out a dynamic strategy to ensure that television channels in India on a regular basis distribute its content. CFSI should enter into collaborative partnership and co-production agreements with Doordarshan National and Doordarshan Regional channels as well as other private children channels in India. Its films/ programmes must be dubbed in all Indian languages. To achieve this CFSI should popularise the use of its Mobile App among people living in remote areas beyond traditional ways of advertising.

  • Institute of Film & Video Technology, Mumbai
    INSTITUTE OF FILM & VIDEO TECHNOLOGY, MUMBAI & MEWAR UNIVERSITY, CHITTORGARH (Rajasthan) PROSPECTUS for JOINT PROGRAMMES ABOUT THE IFVT: There has always been a mad rush of people aspiring to join the glamour world of Cinema and Television. However, there is no clear cut path carved out for their entry other than through the Film Institutes established by the Government. There is always a need felt by the Production Houses to have trained film makers and technicians for quality film and Television productions. Considering this huge requirement of trained professionals many private institutes have mushroomed in various places. However these Institutes also lack the trained faculty in various departments of film making. This has prompted few graduates from Film and Television Institutes of India to come together and thus the Institute of Film and Video Technology was established with a sole objective of providing professional education in Cinema and Television Technology. The IFVT endeavors to take Cinema Education to the places where Cinema is not made and Cinema is not taught. IFVT opens a window of opportunities to those who have no access to the world of Cinema. OUR MISSION: To strive to give Cinema Education a Professional status Equivalent to other professional Degrees such as Medical, Engineering, Computers etc by providing a Bachelors degree in Cinema & Television with Master’s degree & PhD in cinema thereafter. FACILITIES AND SERVICES: IFVT draws its highly experienced faculty from internationally renowned Film Institutes and from the film industry. Apart from the permanent faculty, the IFVT has tie ups and arrangements with reputed artistes and technicians from the film world to train & share their experiences with the students.

  • The Female Journalist in Bollywood Middle-Class Career Woman Or Problematic National Heroine?
    CRITICALviews CRITICALviews The Female Journalist in Bollywood MIDDLE-CLASS CAREER WOMAN OR PROBLEMATIC NATIONAL HEROINE? On the screen as in reality, female journalists in India have historically struggled to gain equality with their male peers. But a slew of recent Bollywood films depicting female reporters indicate that change may be afoot, as SUKHMANI KHORANA discusses. Growing up during India’s economic and communications ‘revolution’, my young mind revelled in the promise of a career in journalism that would serve both the aspirational self and the modernising nation. A role model emerged in Barkha Dutt, the LAKSHYA independent yet feminine reporter at the still-credible New Delhi Television (NDTV).

However, in addition to having been the only true “mass medium” in India, the movies have provided more than escapist fantasy and entertainment fare. Indian popular cinema has actively engaged in social and political criticism, promoted certain political ideologies, and reinforced In- dian cultural and social values. This paper offers a brief introduction to the social role of the Indian cinema in its culture and proceeds to analyze the phenomenon of stereotyping of women in six particular roles. These roles being: the mother, the wife, the daughter, the daughter-in-law, the widow, and “the other woman”. From the 1940s when India was fighting for her independence, to the present decade where she is emerging as a major future economy, Indian cinema has Artykuły i rozprawy shifted in its representation and stereotyping of women. This paper traces these shifts through a textual analysis of seven of the most popular Indian movies of the past seven decades. Abstrakt Popularne kino indyjskie jest przede wszystkim wpisane w schematyczną strukturę narracyjną. Mimo, że jest to tak naprawdę jedyne „medium masowe” w Indiach, tamtejsze kino to coś więcej niż rozrywka i eskapistyczne fantazje.
