In an age where film making has become hobby more than a
profession, Ahmedabad Film Project emerged as a platform that gave a chance to
the amateur film makers to try their hands into film making and showcase their skills and get rewarded.
The first step towards the journey was taken in the year
2011 which saw participation from more than 600 film makers from all across
India, with the youngest participant of just 8 years and the eldest being 71
years.
The competition was flagged off by the renowned bollywood
director Mr Sanjay Gadhvi on August 19th, 2011 and the participants
were given just 48 hours to make the best possible film adhering to the
competition theme,’ Small Things Around You’. This was followed by the
screening of the films which were judged by the renowed film makers Mr Ashish
Kakkad, Mr Sanjeev Shah and Jay Thakkar, from Gujarat. And some of the amazing amateur movie makers
were discovered who were later rewarded for their work.
By the success of the event we became sure that the first
step we took was on the right path and the journey should continue and should
be taken to a next level in the upcoming
year.
