Vigyan Prasar, Department of Science and Technology, Govt of India (www.vigyanprasar.gov.in) is organizing National Science Film Festival and Competition (RVCM) in collaboration with Jahangirabad Media Institute (www.jmi.edu.in) on 4-7 January 2011. The festival is being organised as a part of Indian Science Congress at SRM University, Chennai.
The festival is a unique event for science film makers. Through the festival they can showcase films in front of an eminent audience of Scientists, Science Communicators and Science Policy Makers from around the world. We are looking forward to create a platform for scientists and science communicators to think, share and contribute to the emerging world of science film making. This venture will go a long way forward to create a scientifically conscious media in India.
The festival has competition categories: Popular Science Program (duration more than 20 min), Short Film on Science and Technology (duration less than 20 min) and Animation and Graphic film/video on Science and Technology. The best film in each category will receive the Golden Beaver Award with a cash prize of Rs.50,000/-, the second best film will receive a cash prize of Rs.30,000/- and the third prize will be Rs.20,000/-. The last date for receiving entry is December 15, 2010. The entries can be submitted in DVD (PAL) format.
