INDIAN CINEMA HAS VIRTUALLY BECOME A PARALLEL CULTURE.

TALK OF INDIA WITH A FOREIGNER AND THE DEBATE VIRTUALLY CENTERS

AROUND INDIAN FILMS.

CINEMA’S CLOSEST RELATIVE IS ARCHITECTURE

CARL DREYER
Montage, or the juxtaposition of one image against another, defines FILM

A good film is higher than any education and a bad film is more injurious than
poison

Arts and entertainment in India have had their course shaped by a

synthesis of indigenous and foreign influences that have consequently shaped the
course of the arts of the rest of Asia, since ancient times. Arts refer to paintings,
Architecture, literature, music, dance, languages and Cinema
HUMAN MEMORY IS MAJORLY INFLUENCED BY WHAT YOU SAW
VS WHAT YOU HEAR, I.E. VISUAL AND AUDITORY MEMORY.

The FILM CITY CUM MULTIMEDIA CENTRE is one-stop facilitator for all media and film

Financially
In terms of the number of films produced each year, Indian cinema is firmly on
top of the pile with >1,600 & the value Indian Film industry was 138 Billion INR
in 2014. Local production houses will invest here for film making & new
opportunities and employment to the local will be generated. FORBES & STATISTA

Socially
North India enfolds in its lap immense talent. In order to avail opportunities
related to media careers one can have a much better start, if opportunities are
available at a place nearer to their homes.

Architecturally
The Art of the Moving Picture could be a testing ground for new architectural
forms and concepts. Film also shapes public perceptions of architecture. As a
mass medium, film plays an important role in the way architecture is received
and interpreted. Even Architecture Graduates are Animating the Film Industry.
