Every grain of sand in India tells the story of a land beyond conventional understand, a land where the people look to the past to guide their future, a land where the promise of tomorrow is a reflection of yesterday, a land where storytelling is more than just an art form, it’s a way of life. It’s fundamental to the fabric of India.
Film as a medium came to India relatively late, compared to the developed world, but in that timeframe, the Indian film and media industry has come to be known as a frontrunner in the global market when it comes to storytelling through this 20th century art form.
Filmmakers like the brilliant Satyajit Ray and Guru Dutt have told countless stories, from all walks of life. From the tale of the young Brahmin boy who in the face of abject poverty has to fight the world alone after his sister, father and mother pass away to the tall tale of a drunkard poet in search of his destiny who finds an ear that wouldn’t turn him away in an escort. Tales that have stood the test of time and have come to be appreciated as genuine masterpieces of Indian popular culture.
At ILSAP, we want to help you tell your own tall tales, from the stories that need to be seen to the voices that need to be heard and to the perspective that the world needs to see. So allow us to help you realise these dreams, allow us to impart the wisdom of nearly a century’s worth of filmmaking prowess and time tested techniques in film and storytelling.
Get a close look at the inner workings of the Indian film industry, or Bollywood as it is better known; while studying at the film city in the National Capital Region. A film school within a film studio awaits in India, if you feel the need to unlock your inner Ray.
While in India, you would be working on original projects, applying knowledge gained first hand and learning from industry professionals about Radio, Television and Films. Also, and some might say just as importantly, you would be making connections, forming relationships, that could last a lifetime, professional or otherwise while also gaining truly unique insight into the world of film and media.
So, if you are interested in Film and Media studies in India and if you have an itch that can only be scratched by the artistic release of telling your story to the world, come join us in India and let ILSAP guide you on your way to understand the medium in ways you scarcely thought possible in the past. A step forward is seldom a step not worth the risk.
