Institute of Moving images - the Film School
Admissions open for fulltime Advanced Diploma & Diploma courses. Last date for Registration: 15th Apr, 2024 




At the Institute of Moving Images, we believe the best way to learn filmmaking is by actually making films. And it starts from first week itself. By the time our students graduate, they make more films in one year than many film students make in three.

These selected films of our students are made at various stages of their film studies at the Institute of Moving Images. All these are essentially their exercise films, mostly shot on DV/HDV format with crew comprising their batch mates only.

Even a quick preview of these films show there is a superabundance of our students' accomplishment. But we don't lay claim to their achievements. We have only played our role to provide them a fertile environment and creative freedom to develop their skills, attitude & confidence to take their first step into the world of film making.

Students at IMI
Cinema has always been magic for me and I always wanted to know how they do it. In pursuit of which, I learnt animation, but was still trying to figure out the way to make my own film. Then I came to know about IMI from a friend. I joined in, mentally prepared that it won't be of 'real help'. But that was not the outcome. IMI helped me understand the very structural aspects of filmmaking, which I thought I knew. I knew camera, but not the shots. I knew editing-software but not the editing principles. I knew the script but not scene detailing/shot division /continuity. Now I'm not disappointed why I could not make my earlier film; as it would have been half baked cookie. Thanks to IMI, today I'm a professional working in the industry's top notch production house.
