Documentary Filmmaking Courses India

India is a country full of much variety and flavor. Hence it would be a sin not to make documentaries over here. Okay, that might be a bit of an exaggeration! But you get our point. All of its streets, shops, people and their means of livelihood are highly varied. Hence it is very important that we document and show all of this variety in lifestyles. And the only way to do this is through documentary filmmaking! That is why we at FLUX will soon offer new documentary filmmaking courses. These are going to be their own kind of documentary courses for the multi-cultural country that India is.

A Unique Documentary Filmmaking School

We believe in permaculture and if you don’t know what it means, you must Google it! We have some very adept facilitators who work with this view as an ideology. And at FLUX, you will have a unique opportunity to take a documentary filmmaking class like that. These are the kind of classes that are generally not taught at documentary filmmaking schools.

Documentary filmmaking school curricula are generally very structured and follow older patterns of teaching. We at FLUX understand the importance of older cinema. But we also give regard to the accessibility of modern ways of filmmaking.

Documentary Filmmaking Equipment

However, the documentary industry at this point in India is not very established or organized. There aren’t any proper documentary filmmaking companies or equipment rental spaces. And by introducing documentary filmmaking course as an option, we need to organize this sector a bit more. The idea of documentary filmmaking is full of excitement. It has a sense of freshness and community-hood in it. These all are the things we stand for as an arts community believing in art for change.

Documentary Filmmaking Career in India

There are only few good film schools in India that follow this ideology. Two of these are Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute and Film and Television Institute of India. Both of them exist in very popular cities like Pune and Kolkata. But what do we do about the smaller towns of India? Also, what about documentary filmmaking? These are schools that are more involved in the fictional sector. They do not deal in depth with the skill of documentary filmmaking.

And because they don’t teach documentary filmmaking in depth, it just gets ignored. It is also not easy to make a documentary filmmaking career in India after passing out from there.

Documentary Filmmaking Grants

Many people may argue that there are documentary filmmaking grants that are available in India. But we know for a fact that these are only available to the skilled and a handful of people. But that is not enough. We believe they should be available to anyone who is good at and is passionate about it.

That is why we want to make learning this skill possible and available for everyone.

Documentary Filmmaking Course in Bangalore

There are not many documentary filmmaking courses in India that offer education in documentary filmmaking. This is kind of a newer and rarer industry as it sits opposite to the world of Bollywood and entertainment. In fact documentary filmmaking in India is a very intense form of filmmaking. It keeps one constantly on the verge to make many moral choices as well. Morality is very important in understanding one’s ideals and one may even question the difference between them.

That is why we need to come up with an up to the mark documentary filmmaking course in Bangalore!

Documentary Filmmaking Short Course

And that is why we want to offer various different courses in documentary filmmaking. These may be long term as well as short term courses. Some of you may want to try a quick stint to see if this is your cup of tea. On the other hand some of you may want to dive deep into this art of filmmaking. If so, you would prefer longer courses that may also give you some amount of credibility.

Documentary Filmmaking Journalism

Many people say that in a way, journalists are documentary film makers. They argue that the documentary filmmaking process they follow makes it documentary filmmaking journalism. They further argue that the documentary filmmaking services they provide as news reveal the truth to the world. However, we disagree. We think that they may be quite close to documentary form of video making. But a documentary film is an entirely different story. Documentary filmmaking requires one to follow all the processes of filmmaking like research, scripting, recce, character finding, etc. Journalists don’t fulfill those criteria.

Documentary Filmmaking Vocabulary

Therefore although the documentary filmmaking vocabulary resonates with the one for fiction filmmaking, it is very different in process. One can host a workshop for training as an acting hero. But one cannot do the same for learning how to talk to fellow humans. This is where the reality of a documentary filmmaking workshop comes in. In such a specific workshop one needs to work with specific soft skills and real specific emotions.

These are the things that can be learned through practical application with conversations and questions. We see the value and importance of this form of storytelling. This is a kind of storytelling that interacts with ground reality and helps us think, question and converse.
