Science Film-a-thon | There are no magic pills
Amity Film-a-thon, conducted with Swiss Embassy happened in the first week of 2020. 10 teams from film/media colleges were allotted mentors from diverse fields of science along whom they would discuss a scientific topic to be depicted cinematically in about 48 hours days - from script to showcase.
The team from National Institute of Design, Paldi, Ahmedabad, along with mentor Prof. Tinku Basu, worked on the topic Anti-Microbial Resistance (AMR).
The film, shot in a single studio space, tries to put a spin on the classic Vikram-Vetaal tale while spinning a yarn around antibiotics.
