“From a once-a-year-course of 4 weeks benefiting only 100-odd people in Pune, Film Appreciation has metamorphosed into a mass movement, an ASHWAMEDH RATH that is straddling the length and breadth of the country, touching thousands of people, promoting film education in courses which are open to all. This democratisation will lead to better understanding of cinema, will unravel cinema as an art & craft and not mere entertainment,” Bhupendra Kainthola, Director FTII said.
FTII has so far conducted successful Short-duration Film Appreciation Courses in Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Amravati, IIT Bombay, IIT Roorkee, Srinagar, Ahmedabad University, Ahmedabad, Bhubaneswar, Jaipur, Gurgaon, Guwahati, Haridwar, Nainital and Srinagar (Uttarakhand).
