Film Heritage Foundation has announced the debut of its “Do You Speak Cinema” programme with a two-day workshop for children.
Venue : Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya (CSMVS), Kala Ghoda, Fort, Mumbai
Dates : May 27th and 28th, 2016.
Workshop : “Do You Speak Cinema” is aimed at immersing children in the magic of cinema, transforming the experience from mere passive viewing to actively engaging with this art form and teaching them the language of the moving image. The idea is to make children a more discerning audience in a world where they are constantly bombarded with images.
Highlights : A rare opportunity to see, touch and watch films on vintage film projectors. Learning about the pioneers of cinema from Melies to Chaplin to Phalke. Touching and feeling film strips and drawing frames.
Age Group : First two workshops are for children from ages 8 – 12

“Do You Speak Cinema” is a part of Film Heritage Foundation’s educational initiatives based on the belief that cinema is an art form and that the moving image is an important visual document of our heritage and the times we live in.
