Even as young filmmakers are making a mark worldwide, 30 talented youngsters half of them girls will be chosen from six schools in the Capital to make their own film. Jamia Millia Islamia University and Children's Film Society, under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (I&B), are jointly holding a two-day workshop for schoolchildren aged between 12 and 14 years.

Children will be chosen from public and MCD schools in Okhla. The workshop will be held from January 28-January 30. The children will be given the creative freedom to produce their own film from one minute to an hour.

They will also be encouraged to write their own scripts and present their ideas in any way they like. “We are on the lookout for children who are inclined towards acting, singing or have a good imagination,” says a teacher. “We have emphasised that 50 per cent of the candidates must be girls,” Rakshanda Jalil, Media Coordinator of Jamia informs.
