SHORT FILM
MAKING
COMPETITION
(GR.11-12)
Filmmaking is a powerful medium for self-expression. Short film
making competitions are great for encouraging youngsters to
exercise their creativity, artistry and at the same time create
films that inspire and emotionally touch audiences.
The short film making competition was conducted for GIHS
young amateur filmmakers of grade 11 & 12, who were required
to make Short Films with maximum duration of 3 minutes based
on the theme of ‘Year of Tolerance’ to showcase the relevance of
the messages in the 21st century.
The short films that were documented explored all facets of
student interest, from narrative to documentary, as well as live
action.
The competition provided students a unique platform to
showcase their creative talent and skill in short film making. It
abetted the students to learn how to pick up the camera and
reach a wider audience with the goal of highlighting UAE as a
global capital for tolerance, and emphasizing tolerance as a
universal concept aimed at entrenching the values of tolerance,
dialogue, coexistence and openness to different cultures.
