A schoolteachers' life consists of meeting his young, angel-like students who travel every day to school from neighbouring islands.

Oliver Twist:Handouts

The front cover of the handout.Again by Anish Dasgupta,who by now is building up a hefty jury portfolio in foundation.

Something new!Bookmarks for 'The Pianist'.

I decided to go about the screening of The Pianist,by Roman Polanski,in a big way.Filmclub actually got a lot of email requests(in one case,a PD chap one exchange voiced his enthusiasm over the selection.) and hence a lot of publicity biz was done.
Anish Dasgupta(foundation) wanted to try making bookmarks rather than handouts,an installation was also set up outside the Audi.
Glad it all worked out.:)

December Posters

Posters made by Anish Dasgupta, an enthusiastic elf from Foundation. This was during the December Classics month.

The much-appreciated(therefore flicked,repeatedly,hours before screening began)poster was worked on by Arunprakash, a PG 2nd semester Animation student.
