About The Book

Presenting a panoptic collection of essays transcribed from presentations made by numerous acclaimed filmmakers, cinema critics, and academics. This book aims to equip interested students with the tools and skills necessary to explore cinema as a serious subject of study as well as a flourishing art form. Cinema is an entertainment but it can mean so much more to those with the desire to learn. An art form that emerged from a history abounded with change, the essays explore the past and present of filmmaking with an inkling of what is to come.

On that account, this book is recommended as an essential reading for students of film studies and film appreciation across schools, colleges, and universities, as well as for the public at large.

Introduction

FORMAL education which centres around classroom teaching, textbooks, information gathering, and examinations, aims at certain standard learning outcomes- intellectual development, knowledge gain, skill acquisition, and preparations for earning a livelihood. However, formal education allows little scope for self-exploration, innovation, or the dynamic experience of sharing knowledge. It is thus not a means suited for instilling other life-sustaining values that allow a person to grow to their full potential. It is powerless in helping people cultivate their sensibilities or reform their attitudes, nor helpful in acquiring a sense of identity and finding cultural roots-all of which are integral to stable mental health. Art fosters good energy. It provides creative satisfaction and is a great mode of finding solace and comfort. It makes the youth deeply appreciative of the positive aspects of life and sensitises them towards other humans. This sensitivity in turn helps young people hone their interpersonal skills and organise their behavioural responses in a balanced manner.
