The unveiling of ‘F-STOP’




Actress Rohini addressing the gathering at 24 Frames, the film festival hosted by F-stop, Department of Communication, MCC, on 14th March, 2007 at the M.M.Preview Theatre, Kodambakkam. College Principal Dr V J Phillip( second right) looks on.
It was a grand inauguration for our film club and our film fest on the 14Th of March. The much eagerly waited day for the students (but it did not look like) of the department of communication arrived, when the clock struck 9, we were awaiting the arrival of our principal and the coordinator. As usual the chief guests arrived around 9.30 after which the principal cut the ribbon unveiling the F-stop club. He had a close look at the things which we had made for the fest and our HOD was explaining the events and the happenings of the club. Soon after the principal arrived it was Gautam Bhaskaran and followed by actress Rohini. She inaugurated the fest by lighting the lamp .

The day one was a pretty good show as we had some crowd coming in, at all parts of the day. Thanks to our sponsors the US pizza and Kolkata chats who had some decent food for the students through out the day. The highlight of the day was the screening of Casablanca. This beautiful movie based on the life of a woman captured the hearts of many. The Legend Of 1900 set up a perfect example for a good quality cinema. The dialogues in Casablanca were simply amazing and the story line combined with excellent cinematography revealed that cinema was the revelation of some finest thoughts molded into reality.

The main test for the day came when we broke for lunch. Some usual early on confusions after which we then decided to go and eat in a hotel near by. Peep wanted get into the a/c section of the hotel when there was a heated argument as to how much will it cost and what to have. Ruth and soumya had some breath taking moments when we all left that place after lunch when they were still there not sure whether we paid the bill or not. (Plans of peep guys and not me). But we had some gala time there in the restaurant.
Our mam considered it a very successful day for her. Some nice movies were screened with some useful speeches by the chief guests. On the whole, it was a wonderful day
