CELEBRATING WORLD AUDIO VISUAL HERITAGE DAY

2015 Theme: Archives at Risk



Audiovisual documents, such as films, radio and television programmes, are our common heritage and contain the primary records of the 20th and 21st centuries.
 They help to maintain the cultural identity of a people; but countless documentary treasures have disappeared since the invention of image and sound technologies that permit the peoples of the world to better share their experiences, creativity and knowledge. 
All of the world's audiovisual heritage is endangered. So to spread awareness for preserving the audio visual heritage the students of classes 9,10 and 11  took initiative and made posters of films of the era gone by. Students of classes 6, 7 and 8 participated in activities like "In our times" and screening of snap shots from old movies by famous directors like Satyajit Ray, Bimal Roy was also done.
