The Valedictory function of the 7th Filmsaaz 2014, an annual International
Film Festival of documentaries and short films, organized by University
Film Club, Aligarh Muslim University, concluded last Wednesday. The film
festival (9th-12th March), which saw a huge participation (150 entries),
ended with a grand award ceremony.
The first two days saw the screenings of the shortlisted films from across
the world. The eminent jury consisted of names such as film critic Anuj
Kumar, celebrity blogger, film reviewer, journalist, TV show host and
author of The Adventures Of An Intrepid Film Critic, Anna M. M. Vetticad
and last but not the least filmmaker, Dr. Parvez Imam.
The notable winners included Whistling Woods International’s MAULA BAKSH
DE, actor S.M. Zaheer, THE LAST DELIVERY from Oman and the Dr. Indu Bala
Singh directed AAJ KI TAAZA KHABAR.
National Award winning director (and actor), Tigmanshu Dhulia, was the
chief guest, who along with the AMU Pro-Vice chancellor, Brigadier S. Ahmad
Ali (retired), the guest of honour, felicitated the winners under various
categories of International and Domestic entries.
Addressing the audience on the occasion, Tigmanshu Dhulia said, “I feel
proud to be a part of the festival and it feels great to be at the AMU
campus.”
Answering queries about the current cinema scenario in India Tigmanshu
said, "The Indian cinema has undergone a sea change since 2013, and many of
the recent movies (appreciated both critically and commercially), departed
from the tradition, latest example being that of QUEEN.”
For the uninitiated, a large portion of iconic films like MERE MEHBOOB and
NAI UMAR KI NAI FASAL were shot in and around the AMU campus. And just last
year it was the turn of the Sandeep Sahota produced Anjali Patil and Satya
Anand starrer, MRS. SCOOTER, which was screened at the NFDC Film Bazaar of
the 44th International Film Festival Of India in Goa, and will in all
probabilities go to the New York Film Festival, later this year.
During the course of his AMU sojourn, Tigmanshu took a tour of the
sprawling Aligarh Muslim University campus, along with the film club
president, Mr. S. Abid Hasan, and saw the locales of the above mentioned
films and said that he would love to shoot a film in the beautiful and
serene campus of the university.
