• Introducing  BTEC  @  MGIS  

The   educa/on   system   at   MGIS   reflects   many   Gandhian   values.   In   fact,   "Naye   Talim   "   was   an  educa/onal  movement  started  by  Mahatma  Gandhi,  the  movement  insisted  on  real  world  oriented  voca/onal   educa/on.   Therefore   we   find   a   very   close   and   clear   connec/on   between   the   MGIS  educa/onal   values   and   those   of   BTEC.  MGIS   believes   in   the   need   for   voca/onal   and   skill   based  training  and  feels  privileged  to  be  associated  with  Edexcel,  one  of  the  world’s  premier  centres  for  voca/onal  qualifica/on.  

The  First  School  authorised  to  offer  BTEC  in  India  

Mahatma   Gandhi   Interna/onal   School   is   the   first   school   in   India   authorised   to   deliver   the   BTEC  Program.  Currently,  MGIS  is  offering  the  BTEC  Level  3  in  Crea/ve  Media  Produc/on.  With  the  launch  of  the  BTEC  program,  MGIS  is  now  a  centre  for  voca/onal  training  in  crea/ve  media  produc/on.  The  first  batch  commenced   from  2  October  2011,   'Gandhi   Jayan/'.   This   is   apt,   considering   that  MGIS  was   founded  on  2nd  Oct  1997,   is  named  aner  Mahatma  Gandhi  and  believes   in   the  relevance  of  skill  based  educa/on  (Naye  Talim).

!In   an   age   where   filmmaking   has   become   hobby   more   than   a   profession,   Ahmedabad   Film   Project   is   a  plarorm  to  make  a  film  over  the  weekend,  away  from  your  huff-­‐buff  schedule,  and  showcase   it   to  people  around   and   get   awarded.   It's   not   a   cakewalk,   and   certainly   not  when   all   they   have   to  make   a   film   is   48  hours.  With  a  handful  of  hours  with   them  to  make  their  passion  a   reality,  all   they  have  to  do   is  write   the  nicest   script,   select   the   most   appropriate   loca/ons,   get   the   people   do   ac/ng,   do   the   edit,   compose   a  grabbing  music  and  make  the  best  possible  film  adhering  to  the  compe//on  theme.  The  Ahmedabad  Film  Project   is   not   only   for   filmmakers   but   open   for   anyone   who   wishes   to   make   a   film   from   all   ages,   all  occupaIons,  across  the  country.  !!

What is Ahmedabad Film project

BTEC  Batch:  2012-­‐2013  Concept:  Sagar  Modak    Director:  Siddharth  Dodia  BTEC  faculty:  Shraddha  Rathi,  Piyusha  Ulke  Edi/ng  Faculty:  Neha  Solanki  Internal  Verifier:  Meenakshi  Ganeriwala  Lead  Internal  Verifier:  Meenakshi  Ganeriwala  !

Concept  note:    BTEC  students  have  taken  part  in  a  compe//on  called  AFP  (Ahmedabad  Film  Project)  where  they  had  to  make  a  film  on  the  given  topic  in  just  48  hours.  This  /me  students  had  done  the  edi/ng  on  two  different  versions  of  FCP  (Final  cut  pro).  The  main  film  is  edited  on  FCP  7.0  and  

they  are  edi/ng  a  (making  of)  the  same  film  individually  on  FCPx  

Page 8: Meenakshi Award leadership saa 2015

The  film  is  not  a  response  to  the  current  Delhi  rape  case.  The  film  is  not  a  response  to  one  rape  case,  but  harassment   in   larger  sense.  Women  by  birth  are  trained  to  fear  harassment.  Be   it  any  age,  one  knows  the  fear  of  rape.  Harassment  is  not  only  faced  by  unmarried  women,  but  also  by  young  kinds:  boys  and  girls,  marital  rape,  eve  teasing,  work  related  harassment.  What  we  are  taught  is  to  keep  quite  and  bear  it.  This  film  is  a  response  to  this  feeling  of  keeping  quite.  When  one  cannot  react  to  injus/ce,  one  feels  abandoned   or   invisible.   The   first   and   the   last   scene   of   the   film   addresses   the   invisibility   that   gender  harassment  forces  most  of  the  women  to  feel.  There  is  no  context  where  one  can  talk  about  it,  come  out  and   shout   loud.  Other  minority   communi/es   like   sex  workers,   eunuchs,   homosexuals   too   face   violent  gender  harassment,  but  the  society  has  no  place  for  them  and  their  issues.  Thus,  as  a  society  we  render  them  invisible.  To  counter  this  invisibility,  the  film  uses  black  colour  as  a  metaphor  to  talk  about  silenced  ruptures   in   society.   Thus,   they   have   combined   a   fic/onal   genre   with   real   life   incidences   and   stories.  Stories   that   remain   uncovered,   yet   changes   lives   in   small   ways...   these   are   stories   that   are   never  supposed  to  be  spoken  off,  these  are  the  stories  that  makes  a  woman  guilty  (of  wearing  short  skirt,  going  late  at  night  etc.)  these  are  the  stories  that  will  never  render  them  as  innocent,  but  as  culprit...  these  are  stories  that  needs  to  come  out  and  shout  “I  am  not  guilty”....  Guilty  is  the  one  who  harasses,  not  the  one  who  get  harassed.  

Another  context  that  can  be  theore/cally  discussed  is  of  the  black  colour:  the  common  phrase  used  in  Indian  filmography:  “muh  kaala  karana”  which  literary  mean,  “blacken  the  face”.  Mostly  this  phrase  is  used  when  a  girl  has  had  an  illegi/mate  sexual  rela/onship  with  someone.  But  rarely  it  is  also  used,  when  a  girl  has  been  raped.  The  vic/m  would  be  branded  with  the  phrase  and  would  be  len  alone  for  the  rest  of  the  life.  There  is  no  agency  given  to  the  vic/m  to  decide.  Vic/mhood  becomes  your  social,  poli/cal  iden/ty,  instead  of  remaining  an  event.  Thus  the  film  also  cri/ques  a  certain  social  prac/ces  both  in  language  and  in  prac/ce.

The  add  made  by  Sandeep  “  The  poem  placed  in  the  opening  of  the  Document  depicts  a  clear  idea  that  the  upcoming  genera/on  is  not  only  wants  to  study  and  get  out  of  the  country,  fly  of  to  US  or  UK  for  a  bright  future.  They  are  also  thinking  of  the  vo/ng  importance,  the  essence  of  Democracy  and  a  brighter  future  for  “  Bharat  “

The  tour  to  universi/es  like  Winchester,  BCoT  and  Dudley  College  definitely  brings  out  opportuni/es  that  both  the  countries  can  tap  and  ini/ate  projects  where  they  can  work  on  common  grounds.  It  was  an  amazing  experience  to  visit  different  ins/tu/ons  and  meet  people  of  different  skill  sets.  We  realised  that,  going  global  is  such  a  need  for  all  ins/tutes  for  both  academic  and  voca/onal  development.  We  believe  and  trust  that  the  outcome  such  visits  would  result  into  rela/onship  not  only  between  the  ins/tutes  but  also  between  

the  two  countries  UK  &  India.
