Mumbai-based director gets Limca Book of Records recognition for teaching prisoners filmmaking
AIPUR: A Mumbai-based script-writer and director's efforts to teach the inmates of Jaipur Central Jail the art of filmmaking and theatre two years ago were recognized by the Limca Book of Records.
To draw out the creative energies of inmates, Sanjeev Sharma organized a
workshop inside the jail premises in September 2012. As part of the
first such filmmaking workshop, 22 jail inmates learnt the theory and
practical aspects of filmmaking and the various processes involved. The
inmates were also educated on how to put up plays.
The Limca
Book of Records recognized the workshop because "the inmates on whose
lives many a film could have been scripted, found themselves behind the
cameras and in the spotlight".
Sanjeev Sharma said that nearly
22 inmates, picked up on the basis of interest and aptitude for films,
participated in the workshop.
"They gained practical as well as
theoretical knowledge on filmmaking and theatre. On the first day, three
aspects of film-making — pre-production, production and post-production
— were taught to them. The inmates learnt the various technical aspects
related to camera angles, editing and sound effects," said Sharma.
On the second day of the workshop, the inmates were given practical
presentation of making a theatre play. "Professional actors from Jawahar
Kala Kendra (JKK) made the inmates aware of skills required in
theatre," said Sharma.
Sharma said that he was surprised by the interests and talent shown by the inmates during the workshop.
