''Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain one once we grow up.'' This famous quote by Pablo Picasso captures the wondrous spirit with which children approach the world. They see things so differently, with such wide-eyed curiosity - drinking it all in.
Wouldn't it be fascinating for us adults to see the world through a child's eye? Wouldn't it open up so many perspectives?
With their stories and wonder and imagination, children could become absolutely fabulous filmmakers in today's digital age. A fact that will be shared in various ways with us by the acclaimed child rights activist, writer, producer, director and actor,Amole Gupte.
With his experience of over 15 years of working with children as well as his career in films, Amole has wonderful insights on both the worlds. According to him, cinema is an exciting new medium and art form for children to explore. All they need is a mobile phone camera and a computer. In this session, he will share short films made by underprivileged children and throw light on the possibilities open to children who are interested in this field. Amole will also discuss the relationship children share with cinema, and how it is different to ours.
Date: Saturday, 2nd April 2016 Time: 5 pm Venue: MCubed Library, Princess Bldg, Ground Floor, D'Monte Park Road, Next to Bandra Gymkhana, Bandra (W)
