  1. Excellent sessions giving an indepth and wide exposure to film movements from across the world. Excellent mentorship by the tutor and wonderful Q&A sessions between her and the peer group. Highly recommended. A Very enlightening experience indeed!!!

  2. Wonderful exposure to History of cinema. Nandana madam was so scholarly. Her passion and teaching experience reflected in all the lectures. It was a treat which will be cherished. With this knowledge I feel well equipped to understand cinema better. Thank you… Looking forward to many such experiences. Would be interested in a similar workshop on appreciation of cinema and also one with total focus on Indian cinema if possible.

  3. The Workshop was conceived and executed in a brilliant manner. The topic itself was an excellent choice. The content was good, and the mentor was able to hold the participants engaged in a wonderful manner. Her scholarship in the field is truly laudable. The time set apart for interactions was praiseworthy. The many links provided in the Google Classroom are valuable. The technical aspects were snag free and overall it was a rewarding and refreshing experience on all counts. Wish there were a few more sessions, to cover Indian cinema too.

  4. Nandana Mam is very passionate about teaching films and gave a unique perspective to how we see films. This course opened up a whole new world that I did not know existed. We not only learnt about cinema but also the socio-political context behind it which is very important to understand different film movements. One thing that was unique was to analyze how different film movements impacted global cinema and Indian cinema as well. In all, it was a very good experience.

  5. This was a wonderfully well-researched and well-conducted workshop. I enjoyed watching all the clips which were relevant and appropriate for the topic under consideration and helped in registering the message which Nandana madam was trying to convey. All ppts were highly informative and I will be referring to them in the future.
    The mentor, Nandana madam, was highly knowledgeable and patient and took efforts to answer all our questions at the end of each session.

  6. Really loved the workshop. Rich content and a great mentor. Nandana Bose’s love for film is so evident in the way she delivers her lectures and her earnestness is what makes this experience so much valuable. Looking forward to more from her and from Living Bridge. Technically too, very well managed. Worth every bit of the time and money spent.

  7. The workshop was a cinematic tour of different cultures, various set-ups, and multiple industries and movements.

  8. Dr. Nandana’s lectures were marked by dedication and quality content. She arrived for each class with the clear intention of imparting pure, unadulterated knowledge. The breadth of her knowledge and the precision of her pronunciations were impressive, to say the least. The fact that each of her units had a curated list of reference books had echoes of her illustrious academic background. However, it was not the content of her lectures but her undeterred, single-minded passion and quest for films and filmmakers that impacted me the most. This is a short course, which will have long-term resonance with its participants.

  9. Thank you so much for the wonderful sessions. Over the course of the four weeks, I learnt a lot more about film history and many genres previously unbeknownst to me. Furthermore, I also could appreciate and view many of the films I’ve loved in the past from a new perspective. I genuinely enjoyed both the films and all your commentary during classes and was often left in awe upon seeing the vast knowledge you have about this subject. I truly loved the class and would love to do another course like this whenever I have the opportunity.
