SEGi took the spotlight as the School of Communication and Creative Arts (SOCAD) orchestrated an engaging Film Appreciation event. With a focus on fostering meaningful discussions about the power of cinema, the event encouraged students to explore films as tools for addressing social issues. The theme, “Unravelling the Silver Screen,” showcased thought-provoking films, ‘Parasite’ and ‘3 Idiots,’ known for their social relevance.
The event, held in the student affair office, kicked off with the South Korean masterpiece, ‘Parasite,’ sparking intense discussions on social class and inequality. The film’s clever use of symbolism and masterful storytelling served as a catalyst for thought-provoking conversations. Following the screening, group discussions led by SOCAD lecturers delved into the films’ messages, provoking insightful debates on societal disparities and human behaviour.
The event continued with the screening of ‘3 Idiots,’ a Bollywood gem resonating with students through its exploration of educational pressures and the pursuit of passion. Laughter, emotion, and inspiration filled the air as students related to the film’s central theme of pursuing dreams against all odds.
As part of SOCAD’s initiatives, this Film Appreciation event aimed to promote creative expression and media literacy among SEGi students, fostering critical thinking, empathy, and open-mindedness. The successful event aligns with SEGi’s mission to inspire and nurture creative minds, using cinema as a powerful medium for meaningful societal change.
