The Don Bosco Global Youth Film Festival is an international event that takes place in 136 countries at the same time and is hosted by Salesians of Don Bosco Institutions. The festival inspires young people to use the potent medium of self-expression while honouring the craft of storytelling and filmmaking. The subject of the Global Film Festival, which featured students from both the school and college sections, was, “Become ambassadors of Love and Solidarity.”
There were 540 applications from 40 different countries. After a rigorous evaluation process by a regional jury, 52 films that demonstrated remarkable storytelling and filmmaking talent were chosen. Our students produced nine short films in all. Initially chosen, all nine were later eliminated in the subsequent selection stages.
Fr. Joaquim Fernandes, the vice principal, led an educational training session where the students taking part in the event had a thorough understanding of the technical aspects of shooting as well as other necessary dos and don’ts.
