CACA (Pronounced: KASA)
“Creative Advancement of Cinematic Articulation”
One of our programs is known as “Illuminations”. It can happen as distance learning / continuing education. Here we invite a group on ‘Facebook’, people who are interested in general in ‘Cinematic Articulation” and offers in-depth individual support for seekers of meaning & significance of “Non-commercial Cinema Art Practice”.
There is a course of self discipline for film makers known as “PRAXIS” (i.e. : spontaneous / instantaneous real time thought & action); so much more plausible with digital machines now as compared to when we were developing these concepts with Mitchell heavy weight cameras on ‘patlas’ !! This system has relevance, therefore, for new & young. The supple, buoyant & bubbling now / post now ‘Warriors of Cinema’. There is scope for aligning CACA with informal or ‘Formal’ I don’t know! … Schools of Cinema that I read about on GRAFTII DELHI group wall, in Bangalore & elsewhere.
At CACA we have a comprehensive Course Architecture consisting of Reading Materials, Bibliography, Lecture / Discussion notes, Theory / Practice concept notes & propositions for practical learning by doing, including walk-through Film Production Flow-charts, call-sheets, shooting scheduling & breakups. I have developed these materials as I was fortunate to have been studying at “Film Institute” during its formative years full of idealism and then I caught up with the present hybrid called FTII. My experience during re-construction of Film Direction & Screen Writing Course has been dovetailed into my own learning, understanding & accumulated course materials from my student days. Then there are visual & auditory materials from Fine Arts including Cinema floating about in the Ether. We look & we listen carefully, we learn, share, analyze and, of course, enjoy them any time of day or night. We are so interconnected it seems like a residential campus; as such it is totally virtual.
You can help me construct this proposal better, more functional, practical, attractive & capable of receiving funding & corpus support. I do not wish it to become like the “Best Proposal you have ever seen”, as I am a bit old for that !
love
