Mumbai: Kirti M. Doongursee College is associated with theatre since a very long time. Wonderful set of passionate ex-students showered their love for drama once again, which resulted in their harmony and priceless dedication to come together and perform on various platforms. One such platform which they formed is “Rangasangati Kalamanch”.
It aims to give birth to extremely talented actor, directors and people who are connected to theatre in many different ways. Their motto has always been to explore and give recognition to respective artists. To share art, appreciate it and respect the art form; is what this community does as a whole. This has resulted in gaining several achievements. Be it one act plays, streetplays, commercial theatre acts or experimental plays; Rangsangati Kalamach has gained a good audience in past 10 years of sheer brilliant work.
This community undertook concepts which were non-mainstream. To “try experimental practices” has been their specialty over the time. The community performed unique pieces of drama last year in the form of “Shortfilm competition”; which was indeed highly appreciated by the audience. And so they are excited yet again to celebrate another year with even more enthusiasm.
Well due to the current situation and harsh reality of Covid-19, conducting the competition this year was highly impossible for Rangasangati. As an alternative, they’ve come up with resolution.
They have started online entries for shortfilm with the theme of “home quarantine”. All you need to do is, shoot the film and send it to registered email address. The duration of the shortfilm is 3 minutes; most important thing is, the artist has to shoot their video at home or in their premises maintaining social distance. Mobile videography is also accepted in this competition. The entries should be confirmed by 30th of April. The final judgements will be done by accredited directors. The three winning short films will be rewarded in cash and selected top10 entries would be published on their Facebook page – “Rangasangati entertainment mandal”. The details of this group and competition are mentioned on their Instagram profile and Facebook page.
The organizers have kept rules on basis of government regulations. They are highly determined to make this event successful yet again.
