The Award Season to You: Vision, Gender, and the Moving Image
January 19, 2026
As part of Pre-Media Meet 2026, the Department of Media Studies organised a focused academic and creative engagement exploring cinema, perception, and visual storytelling. The programme aimed to create space for critical reflection and practice-based learning ahead of the main Media Meet events.
Designed to encourage dialogue between theory and creative practice, the sessions brought together students with an interest in cinema, media, and visual culture, offering opportunities to engage with contemporary questions of representation, authorship, and ways of seeing.
Building on the vision of Pre-Media Meet 2026, the Department of Media Studies curated a moderated panel discussion and cinematography workshop that invited students to engage deeply with cinema, perception, and visual storytelling. The programme created a reflective space for examining how images are shaped not only by technique, but by experience, emotion, and perspective.
The first session of the day featured a moderated panel discussion and screening titled “Unfiltered Roots: How Gender Shapes Vision.” The session explored how gender, lived experience, and positionality influence visual perspective and authorship in cinema and media. Through an interactive format, participants were encouraged to reflect on questions of gaze, representation, and narrative authority, making the discussion a thoughtful and engaging exchange.
The day concluded with a cinematography workshop titled “The Award Season to You,” which shifted focus toward practice-based learning. The workshop invited participants to examine how perception, emotional awareness, and intention shape visual storytelling choices. Led by Juhi Sharma, Director of Photography and member of the Indian Women Cinematographer Collective (IWCC), the sessions together offered an enriching experience that combined critical discussion with hands-on reflection, contributing meaningfully to the larger objectives of Pre-Media Meet 2026.
