Pranita Sen
What our Students Say

"My 6 months at Mindscreen Film Institute were one of the most important in my life. The course gave an excellent understanding of motion picture cameras, management of light and visual story telling. The faculty was excellent and saw to it we gained hands on experience".

Archana Borhade
What our Students Say

"Mindscreen helped to lay a strong foundation for my cinematography and filmmaking career. I was able to learn the basics of cinematography, script writing as well as direction. We were fortunate to have a kaleidoscope of visiting faculty members, who gave us useful insights into painting, architecture, wildlife and documentary filmmaking, story boarding etc. With the immeasurably gifted Mr. Rajiv Menon at its helm, this short term program placed equal emphasis on cinematography theory, lighting demos and camera practical that alleviated my fears of handling camera and instilled confidence to shoot on film as well as digital media.".

Uma Kumarapuram
What our Students Say

"It was a unique experience studying at Mindscreen - like a university class inside a high tech laboratory. The theory classes were intense. I still believe it was those intense classes and healthy discussions, and the attitude created by our faculty that still enables me to research and learn by daily updating the craft and technology. With the production house right next to the classrooms, it was one major plus point to touch and practice what we just heard in theory back in the class.".

Siddhartha Nuni
What our Students Say

"Mindscreen opened my awareness to the infinite possibilities in the field of cinematography. It helped me gain a clear insight into the technological know- how that goes on behind the camera. I was a novice when I got into the course and had zero knowledge. But with the clear cut course process, I had learnt the nuances of cinematography in 6 months time. The course was intensive and covered not just the current digital scenario but also the history of cinematography.".
