AISFM and JNAFAU collaborate to offer Film-making programmes
Recently a memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed between Annapurna International School of Film and Media (AISFM) and Jawaharlal Nehru Architecture and Fine Arts University (JNAFAU).
According to the MOU, signed for four years, it will enable a candidate to earn a government recognized degree along with technicaltraining in various film and media aspects.
The programme will include training in editing, cinematography, direction, scriptwriting, production as well as animation and visualeffects (VFX). According to Akkineni Nagarjuna, president of AISFM,the partnership between AISFM and JNAFAU is a dream come true for those in the Indian Film industry who wanted students to gain technical skills in this field.
Eminent names such as Farah Khan, Karan Johar, Hema Malini, Mani Ratnam, Kamal Hassan, Sonu Sood, Tabu and Anurag Kashyap are associated with AISFM. They will not only provide the students with
their valuable guidance but will also be a part of the advisory council. They will help in designing of the academic curriculum while providing valuable recommendations on faculty and curriculum content.
VP of AISFM, Chris Higgins finds this is a path-breaking step whereby Indian students will have access to degree and masters courses at par with international schools.
JNAFAU is set up in Andhra Pradesh with the College of Fine Arts, especially dedicated to the development of applied art, painting, sculpture, photography and animation. According to the vice chancellor of JNAFAU, R M Dobriyal, since there is lack of quality technical education in film and media related domain, this step will serve to broaden creative and fine art options available to youngsters.
