The best days in the life of a student are no doubt the college days. The students have the freedom to enjoy their youth before they step into the world full of responsibilities. The college days ensure to educate the youth as well as provide them with the freedom of living their life to the fullest.
College festivals are a great way to create memories which will last a lifetime. No student will be ready to trade their festival memories even for the most precious thing in the world. The students of the Mass Media department of S. K. Somaiya College of Arts, Science and Commerce recently organized their annual media festival, Mediatheque. The two-day festival was scheduled on the 9th and 10th January 2017 at the prodigious campus of Somaiya Vidyavihar.
Like any other college, the fest had a theme. Mediatheque incorporated 'Emoticons' as the theme for the festival. The theme was decided after keeping in mind the increased dependence to constantly stay in touch with our family and friends. Emoticons have become a great way to express our emotions in an apt way. Emojis are the latest trend that strikes the chords of the youth and is one of the contemporary vogues in the new media. ‘Planet Emoticons…Unfolding Emotions’ was the tagline of Mediatheque 2017.
Mediatheque’s distinct theme attracted over 20 colleges from all over Mumbai. The events at Mediatheque planned to showcase excellence in the field of advertising, journalism, film, photography and performing arts. There were nearly 1500 students who attended the festival and participated in the events which were planned according to the theme.
The participants for the events such as journalism, photography, short-film making, radio jockeying, dance and fashion show were great in number. The ambitiously creative events were judged by some of the great personalities of the media industry like Bharat Dabholkar, RJ Mantra, Abhishek Das, Vikas Grover, Parag Mehta and Shantanu Tungare.
The festival was sponsored by well-known brands such as Larsen and Toubro, Godrej Interio, Herbolent, Corporation Bank, PentaBleu, Spoyl, Serenity Skies, atkt.in, Maharashtra Times and Insta Blood.
