'Flickers' is a seminar wich is organized by Commits (a colg i think wich provides M.A.)... Diz is da first seminar wich i hav attended....it was on cinema and television.....it was surely a long thing (went on fer about 8 hours includin a lunch break fer 45 mins) n dat was bcoz dey had really long q/a sessions after each speaker...
The seminar was divided into a mornin and an evenin session.We got to hear 7 smart n successful ppl working in the media....
In the morning session there was Shimit Amin (director of ChakDe), Anurag Kashyap (a dialogue riter n maker of films like No Smoking and Black Friday) and Rohit Vaid (a big thing in television area and currently makin his own film)...personally i think Anurag Kashyap and Rohit Vaid (specially) did sum guddd talkin and explainin...They spoke bout their take on how bollywood cinema is, da various challenges faced in cinema, discussion of deir movies and so on...After each dude der was a short quiz wich was conducted n ppl givin answers were given prizes...
For the afternoon session there were 4 ppl who were previously part of Commits and who passed out not very long ago but have already made a noteworthy mark in deir respective fields...first was Gaurav Momaya (has assisted Indra Kumar in Pyaare Mohan and Dhamaal), Deep Pal (from CNBC Awaaz), Faye D'Souza (working for CNBC Tv18) and Prema Sridevi (from Times Now) Gaurav enlightened with his experience as an assistant director and da other 3 gave their viewpoints bout journalism using their channel as an xample....
Alll da talks were quite gud and i managed to do sum fun learnin...these were followed by a panel discussion wer da afternoon session speakers answered questions raised by da audience...da panel discussion was an awfully long thing to sit fer n screw my happiness for sum of the questions asked turned out to b prettyy lame....like dude....sha!! Me and 2 of my classmates were da only ppl who sat till da very end of the seminar...*pats back*....
Seemed like a fruitful and yet a tiring xperience...i was dressed in formals n quite a few ppl thot i luked nice :)...all of us were given certificates of participation....
On another note, i waznt aware dat der is an Indian women's basketball team (found out today from my player) and here i thot dat bball didnt exist beyond the national level.... :P
*End*
