Upcoming course

8 Days' Film Appreciation : History
and Aesthetics
From 30th September to 7th October 2019,
@
Cinema Paradiso, Auroville.
The course will create a historical
perspective on Cinema explaining its many internal movements and aesthetic decisions
that intersect with social ideas, politics, ethics and other arts using the
five main elements: Narrative, Space, Time, Sound, Colour and Non-fiction.
These five elements create a grid through which we look at the history of the
medium and understand it’s pulls.

About Auroville Timelines
:
The Genesis of ‘Auroville Timelines’
was an intense engagement with the archival footage of Auroville from the
formative years, reflecting the pioneering spirit and the labour of love in all
its glory.
Auroville Timelines aims to be artistic curator of the recorded memories of Auroville. This curation is for, and with all those who are interested in the history and the making of Auroville - an intentional universal township dedicated to the adventures of consciousness.
From productions and video art, Auroville Timelines long wished to extend its activities to include 'Media Pedagogy'.
With respect to the Mother's dream of having a "cinema studio, a cinema school..", Auroville Timelines is developing a film school, what we may call the 'Auroville Film Institute' in collaboration with Auroville's pioneer and veteran film department - Aurofilm.
The film courses we offer are one the first steps towards the
Auroville Film Institute - with an attempt to integrate the experience of world
cinema and world citizenship, to widen consciousness.
Auroville Timelines' Projects:
Education:
Where does it begin? In words, one can describe
only from a point, sequentially. But what of something that begins from all
points –all planes-- simultaneously? Two question arise necessary to establish
a context, a perspective, a beginning: What is school and who is the child in
Auroville?

Televisions in concentric circles become
mnemonic mirrors of 'The Dream'. Repeating themselves to redundancy, filmed
realities break free of the 'film form' and 'the director's tyranny'.
Imagination becomes the only refuge
