Technology Filmmaking and Photography society, IIT Kharagpur,despite being a relatively newer society, has been appreciated by the student community of IIT Kharagpur. We released a total of seven productions in the academic year 2013-2014:
1. The Walk-Tale: The first production of the year, “The Walk-tale” was made for the fresher’s Introduction program. It is indeed a great trip down the memory lane. Through this video, we have made you all visit and fall in love with kgp. This video comprises of a walk through various academic and extra-curricular activities that occur inside the campus. The Walk-Tale very well sums up the campus life of every KGPian.
2. The Epiphany: Released just before Spring Fest, The short-film ‘The Epiphany’ was based on a day in the life of three individuals, a day which happens to be Christmas and how they celebrate it. This true piece of art was made for the short-film competition of Spring Fest. The Epiphany tries to ask a simple question, “What does Christmas mean to you?”
3. As Long as the Night Lasts: This short-film was shot without any script and it is a good example of spontaneous filmmaking. It was our tribute to the two best movies of 2013, ‘Nebraska’ and ‘Inside Llewyn Dewis’. As Long as the Night Lasts is based on a conversation between two final year students sitting on the footpath of the over-bridge just outside the gate of IIT and talking about their memories from KGP.
4. 20 Months: This short-film is a love story spread over a period of 20 months, its tagline being “He doesn’t want to risk rejection, She trusts god by waiting!” This film did set high bars in technical aspects of filmmaking such as cinematography and editing.
5. Godsend: Godsend is the story of a heart-broken guy who finds solace in an unknown girl who guides him by leaving notes at a bookstore and unfortunately loses her too.
6. Masala Flakes- Placement: With the aim of re-launching “Masala Flakes” after the success of its season-1 (2012-2013, which had 4 episodes) another episode was released based on casual “Bakar” on placements. Continuing its legacy this episode too made use of subtle gestures and wonderful satires to enthrall its audience.
7. The Interview: The short-film shows a comic encounter between a “Berozgaar KGPian” and an arrogant interviewer. His “creativity” leaves the interviewer amazed and the audience amused!
The success of our productions is the sole consequence of unparalleled dedication and handwork of the members and brilliant guidance of the governors and heads.
