Filmesque, The Filmmaking And Appreciating Society

About

Filmesque is a vibrant and passionate community dedicated to the art of filmmaking. With a shared love for cinema, individuals celebrate the power of storytelling, the beauty of visual language, and the magic of the silver screen. The film society aims to create an immersive and enlightening experience for film enthusiasts of all backgrounds through curated screenings, engaging discussions, and exciting events. Filmesque focuses on analysing and celebrating different types of cinemas and even producing our own works. We have made a safe space for young individuals to discuss their favourite films or genre, eventually motivating them to pursue their passion for cinematography, editing, and acting.

Vision

Our vision is to be a leading film society that enriches lives and creates meaningful connections through the magic of cinema. We aspire to be a catalyst for artistic exploration, innovation, and collaboration. By curating a dynamic and eclectic selection of films and film reviews from around the world, we seek to create transformative experiences that ignite the imagination, spark dialogue, and encourage a lifelong love for cinema. Our film society aims to be a driving force in cultivating a diverse and inclusive film culture, nurturing emerging talent, and fostering a sense of community among film lovers.

Mission

The mission of Filmesque—the film society—is to foster a vibrant and inclusive community that celebrates the art of filmmaking and film reviewing. We aim to engage, educate, and inspire film enthusiasts by providing a platform for diverse voices, thought-provoking storytelling, and cinematic excellence. Through our screenings, discussions, and events, we strive to promote a deeper understanding and appreciation of the power of film as a medium for cultural expression, social commentary, and entertainment.

Society Activities

Filmesque has crafted a compelling presence on social media, offering engaging reviews on cinematography, documentaries, and films, complemented by niche-specific recommendations. Apart from our core activities, we also extend our volunteer services to filming promotional content for other departmental fests and student union events, including the annual cultural fest, Rhapsody 2024.

Filmesque, in collaboration with the student’s union, successfully organised a short film-making competition, "Filmstill," under Sparkles-Diwali Mela 2023. During Rhapsody 2023, two competitions were held by Filmesque for the annual cultural fest. They were held under the name EPILOGUE’24. The first was Beyond Frames, an offline short filmmaking competition that was held on 5th April 2024. The second was The Script Odyssey, an online scriptwriting competition from 4th April to 5th April 2024, where the most creative entries were sent.

During the session 2023-2024, we organised various competitions and a webinar in addition to the tenure’s flagship film production. We had also embarked on the production of our inaugural annual magazine, a project that will transition into the next tenure and ultimately be launched as our flagship publication with success.
