B.A. (Hons.) Film & New Media

B.A. (Hons.) Film & New Media Programme

The B.A. (Hons.) Film and New Media programme is a four-year undergraduate programme to nurture filmmakers and new media artists of the future. After establishing a journalism programme comparable to the best in the world in 2017, we are now venturing into the exciting world of filmmaking. In the centenary year of the birth of the legendary filmmaker, Satyajit Ray, we are launching the B.A.(Hons.) Film and New Media programme at JSJC.

The B.A. (Hons.) Film and New Media programme is one of the few that look to equip students with the expertise to be full-fledged film professionals at an undergraduate level. It provides tools to let the students work on their creative expressions in a general university setting. It will help create an environment of free and open learning where students will be encouraged to find an original voice to push the boundaries of the audiovisual culture/ medium. We also honour the liberal arts tradition in our courses.

Why JSJC?

The study of cinema is a study of all other arts. In a world where visual culture is constantly evolving, the need to nurture future story tellers is all the more important. Audio-visual communication needs creators who can be prepared for the future. Indian cinema over the years has been a unique marker of our changing cultural history from the era of silent films to cutting edge web and experimental work. Indian cinema has managed to carve its own identity, being the biggest film industry on earth. A promise to create total filmmakers and storytellers with the knowledge of film history and the latest skills in film production. JSJC with its expertise in journalism and communication will focus on the documentary film genre in recording everyday life and people.
