Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam International Socio-Legal Film Making Competition 2019

About the competition

There are various issues in the society covering various aspects of it. These issues involve different social and legal aspects of it. We come across many literatures i.e. articles, policy papers, commentaries, documentaries, short films etc. touching these issues. Most impactful out of these all is visual representation of an issue. Impact of this lasts for long in our memory compared to other mediums.

Looking at this, ProBono India launched a unique competition of making short film on Socio-Legal issues in year 2017. We received very good numbers of entries touching various contemporary issues in the society. We hope to receive wonderful piece of work in 3rd edition of the competition.
