FILM EDUCATION IN INDIA
The filmmaking education system has suffered a major setback, leaving students with the
ability to work professionally with few chances to participate in the real filmmaking
process. In India, the filmmaking industry operates en such a manner that only those with
connections to the industry are given the ability to participate in the actual filmmaking
process, despite they directed a movie or even trained in filmmaking. As a result, it becomes
very difficult for young film students to get into the industry. Having a more innovative
teaching atmosphere, providing opportunities for a more experiential way of studying
filmmaking, and providing more networking opportunities for students could help them
succeed and contribute to the Indian film industry. When comparing the filmmaking
education system to that of other fields such as architecture, fashion design, product design,
and so on, it is clear that the students lack the practical knowledge required in the field.
