• 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

Mahatma

   the

  MGIS	
  is

“Ramayana Revisited”
“No Exit”
!
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

  music	
  and	
  make	
  the	
  best	
  possible	
  film	
  adhering	
  to

  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	
  
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

  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

  I

  you	
  are	
  happy	
  for	
  me	
  to	
  use	
  your

  • 8. 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.
