A Member of Indian Motion Picture Producer’s Association – IMPPA. Reg. No. 9627.
.
Spandan has five centers and 150 active members all over Maharashtra.
Then we start the 3-month workshop. Many people, who want to make
a career in this field, don’t know what to do exactly. Spandan studies their
backgrounds, academics and aptitude. There is no educational or age criteria
for workshop members. Anyone from any background, of any age can choose
any role in a workshop. (After all, Cinema is a product of experiments.) This
eventually leads to knowing and understanding various roles and a possible
final choice of profession.
First of all we make a team. Initially we have a few lectures, which help
students to understand the story, scenes, shots, production designing, editing
and other aspects of cinema. “You cannot learn to swim till you jump in the
water”. Few assignments are provided to everyone, which can be completed
at home. (E.g. watching movies at home and understanding shots and angles,
watching classics and mainstream movies and analyzing them). Through
these assignments they learn to comprehend Cinema beyond glamour.
We use digital camera to shoot short film projects. The budget is flexible
(Rs. 3000 among 7-8 people team to make a 10 min. short film). For us it
is not important how good a film can one make, but the how educative the
process of filmmaking has been.
Mr. Amarjeet always says that, “Like pregnancy. Let it be of a poor woman
or a rich woman-the natural process is the same, the pain is the same… In
the cinema too, let it be a short film of 10 min. or a feature film of 3 hrs.,
the process is same.” From choosing a story, developing it and converting it
into a script, location hunting, casting, shooting, editing, etc, all processes
remain the same.
FTII is the number one film institution in Asia. However, the fact is that
many people don’t know that there is such kind of a film institute in this
country run by the government and with a highly subsidized fee structure.
Since two years, Spandan has been designing the production of most
diploma films. In return Spandan expects nothing but practical filmmaking
experience for its members. The members can actually gain live experience by
participating in these projects and most importantly make a network of
friends and well-wishers. It is these people who are going to be technicians
and filmmakers of tomorrow.
Spandan believes that, “You do not make cinema but cinema makes
you.”
A. Financial Independency
B. Educational Improvement
It is very hard to find your goal in life and keep focus on it. Many
factors, distractions push you back. There are already a lot of misconceptions
about the film industry in the society. Many a times the wish to pursue a
career in this field faces opposition right from your own family. The youth
today is blamed for its lack of awareness or responsibilities towards the
society. It is time to stop talking and start acting. At Spandan, we aim to
make not only good film professionals, but good, aware, socially responsible
individuals. After all a good artist is always an informed, organized
responsible individual.
The process of filmmaking involves teamwork. You develop your
leadership, communication, and psychological skills when you work with a
team.
We want our members to read Good books, watch Good films, listen to
good music, see good murals, sculptures and paintings to develop their
aesthetic faculties.
