Gain a fresh perspective on impact created by documentaries through a masterclass presented by Avid Learning in collaboration with The Impact Collective. Documentary films convey powerful, often unknown stories and bring awareness to a larger audience, and are some of the best resources for information, inspiration, and entertainment. The journey of Indian documentary films has come a long way from the first short film on wrestlers by Harishchandra Bhatwadekar in the late 1800s to the recent 2023 Oscar-winning The Elephant Whisperers.

Documentaries stimulate a sense of emotion and connection with the audience provoking a fresh direction of thoughts, and allowing them to leave with distinctive memories of the character and mood of the film. The stories through an immersive experience further inform, inspire and motivate the viewers. This session will be an exciting opportunity for aspiring filmmakers, cinephiles, media, and social work students to delve deeper and understand the impact created by the use of storytelling through documentaries.
