DBICA : Don Bosco Institute of Communication Arts
In its decade long existence, DBICA has emerged as one of the premier media institutes which is actively involved in imparting values, skills and promoting media literacy among young people and those involved in the field of media.This initiative of DBICA to introduce short films of various genres from all over the globe is to illustrate to film lovers the power of short films to deal with different themes. It is a very rich form of film making, but unfortunately, this format has not been very much popularized in India. Short films can be very well an alternate to mainstream cinema and can powerfully communicate stories and themes that are very touching and impressive. A possibility of viewing some of the latest world’s short films in Chennai through a short film festival is a rare and unique opportunity, and such an initiative is no doubt educative, entertaining, motivating and a great learning for budding film makers.
DBICA continues to provide a good avenue for media critics and professionals to discuss media and social issues through seminars, research, short film festivals and various other campaigns.
