Description
Center for Research in Art of Film and Television (CRAFT) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization registered as a public charitable trust to impart quality education in the field of film, television, and other media arts through short and long-term courses with specialization in various disciplines.
While many mass communication courses exist at the bachelor's and master's level in Delhi, why has CRAFT decided to introduce one-year, full-time postgraduate advance diplomas?
Today, we are living in an era of microspecialization. Besides FTII, not many institutes offer specialization courses in media arts. Moreover, the usual intake of aspirants in so-called mass communication courses is 45-60, where imparting practical training is not viable. Most of these courses run on a theoretical syllabus devised by academic council members who are not industry practitioners.
Therefore, we have realized the need for specialization courses run by current industry practitioners.
