Taking the lead in this initiative to bridge the gap between management and the film industry, is IIM Rohtak. We, at IIM Rohtak, are all set to kick-start the new 2017-18 academic year by organizing the second edition of the Film Summit , an unrivalled and unprecedented conclave related to the film industry conducted by any B-School in India, on 22nd July, 2017. The inaugural edition of the Film Summit, conducted last year, was a huge success, with over 500 students from management institutes all over the country participating in the event. Quite a few stalwarts from the film industry, one of them being Ms. Megha Ramaswamy (writer, director and producer) delivered their insights on the theme, ‘Making India a global entertainment superpower’.
This year’s theme is ‘The Magic Hour’. It refers to that time when the first stroke of sunlight appears across the night sky, bringing in a welcoming and memorable change. It is symbolic to the dynamic changes that are currently occuring in the Indian M&E industry. And with these changes, comes the requirement of management expertise for handling them. Sharing their thoughts on management and the film industry this year will be the likes of Mr. Hardik Mehta (National award winning director for the movie ‘Famous in Ahemdabad’), Mr. Amit Masurkar (Director of 'Newton'), Mr.Anjum Rajabali (Screenwriter of ‘Ghulam’ and ‘The Legend of Bhagat Singh’) and Mr. Shiladitya Bora (CEO, Drishyam Films). In addition to the talks, there will also be a film-making competition, MasterShot, which will provide budding film-makers with a national platform to showcase their talent.
Given the pace with which the film industry is growing, it’s high time that B-School students start considering it as an option worth making a career in. In this regard, Film Summit, IIM Rohtak aims to impart knowledge about the intricacies involved in the business aspect of the film industry.
