CineMaestro - Shaping Future Filmmakers

Filmmaking as a learning tool? An unprecedented perception, isn’t it? A lot of things go into the making of a film – story, editing, cinematography, acting, direction, production…and of course Lights, Camera, Sound, Action!! But how these rudiments could be termed as learning tools or render us opportunities to shape a learner, how filmmaking is skill-oriented and could assist students in becoming a better version of themselves? Well, the answers to these questions lie not in the object which is the ‘Film’ but in the process of gratification of that object.  

Chitkara International School in association with Cinevidya is pleased to present to you one of its kind inter-school filmmaking competition, CineMaestro – ‘shaping future filmmakers’. The aim of this competition is to unleash students’ filmmaking skills through Cinevidya – a path breaking Social Enterprise initiated by Amitabha Singh which believes in ‘Films to aid Learning. Learning to make Films’. 

What is Cinevidya? 
‘Cinevidya’, a path breaking Social Enterprise aims to redefine the present Learning Ecosystem for Children in India by using tools of Films effectively. Under this initiative of Amitabha Singh, country-wide Film Making Workshops and Festivals are being organised in multiple Cities so that more and more children receive hands-on training in Film Making using the latest in technology and equipment.
