(CMAC) organized a pre launch screening of 'Bollywood Bosses' of
History Channel and CINEMAC Short / Documentary Film Competition
on February 14, 2007 at Delhi Campus.

Channel, Mr. Raza Haider, President of Shikha - a Development Communication
Organization and Head of the Dept. - Cinema Studies at School of
Communication & Cine Arts and Ms. Sabiha Farhat, Documentary

Mr. Bhattacharya in his principle lecture told students that they
have made a difficult choice by opting for media, which is not essentially
all about glamour and money. It takes hard work and passion to excel
in the field. The pre-launch screening of 'Bollywood Bosses', a
production of History Channel, was appreciated by students a lot.
It's followed by award ceremony.
CINEMAC, an all student venture, at CMAC is a film club that screens
documentaries, short films, Classics and Contemporary Cinema from
Bollywood to Hollywood. This is the first time that CINEMAC in four
years of its existence organized this competition. It involved CMAC
alumna work that they produced during their stint with college;
along with the current students' work.
Kunal Pruthi's directorial venture "I was scared of Ram' won
the first prize. Kunal is Programming Head of 104 Radio Tarang.
His film touched sensitive religious issues with great deal of sensibility.
Abhijeet Singh's 'Manzar' and Rohit Sarkar's 'Calling to My Will'
won the second and third prizes. The distinguished jury members
Mr. Haider and Ms. Farhat gave crucial feedback on all the nominations.
The CMAC students enjoyed the program, which offered an objective
view on their work. CMAC Dean Ms Kakul Rizvi showing satisfaction
over the success of the event said the College would broaden the
spectrum of this competition by inviting larger participation next
time.
