JHARKHAND CHILDREN’S FILM FESTIVAL
Organized by UNICEF in partnership with Prabhat Khabar & CUJ
Concept
Cinema is one of the important communication media catering to the needs of children. It not only
helps shape the young minds but also provides quality entertainment to them in the clutter of
largely adult content of soap operas, sports programs, news, etc. To promote the genre of children’s
cinema, Indian government established Children Film Society of India (CFSI) in 1955. Also many
prominent filmmakers like Satyajit Ray, Ritwik Ghatak, Vishal Bhardwaj, Shekhar Kapoor used their
creativity to entertain and educate children. But during last two decades not much importance has
been given to this genre. However some enthusiastic independent filmmakers are making their
mark.
Children are integral and neglected part of Indian society. The mental and physical health of children
is among the vital factors that impacts of the future of any country. At present, children in our
society are facing lots of problems such as child marriage, undernutrition and sexual violence &
exploitation. It is imperative that these issues are not only discussed openly on a public platform but
we must ensure that children and young people are made aware of these issues and their
participation and contribution secured in the development process. Cinema is an effective tool to
reach to a larger audience while sensitizing on specific issues in an edutainment format.
UNICEF in partnership with Prabhat Khabar & Central University of Jharkhand (CUJ) is organizing the
‘Jharkhand Children’s Film Festival and Workshop on Cinema Aesthetics’ in November 2018
providing a platform to adolescents and young people to address these issues and showcase their
world.
Objectives of the Jharkhand Children’s Film Festival & Workshop on Cinema Aesthetics
Sensitize the adolescents and young people on children’s issues through the medium of
films
Provide a platform college/university students from across India to discuss these issues and
express themselves through the medium of film making
Provide a platform for the children, students and scholars to interact with film makers/
scholars
Initiative a discussion on the representation of children in film, television and
advertisements and the need to amplify young people’s voices on these platforms.
As a part of the Jharkhand Children’s Film Festival, a ‘Youth for Child Right’ National Short Film
Making contest will also be organized. The winners will be screened along with the remaining
shortlisted films and awarded during the Jharkhand Children’s Film Festival in Nov 2018. On the
sidelines of the Festival a national workshop on cinema aesthetics will be conducted for around 50
media students and film enthusiasts from various institutes/colleges/universities across India led by
