Dear friends,
I am glad to inform you that we are screening an award winning documentary
‘The Secret Life of Frogs’ on 23 April, 2019, at 4 PM, at Audi-2,
Convention Center, JNU with India’s leading wildlife channel ‘Animal
Planet’ from the house of Discovery Communications India.
The screening will be followed by interactions session with the filmmaker
Vijay Bedi. Such interaction will provide an interesting opportunity for
the students to learn intricacies of making world class documentaries.
About Vijay Bedi is the third generation of wildlife film maker and
photographer in a family that has a long history of expertise in this
highly specialized field. He has worked with various national and
international channels like CNN International, Aljazeera English, Canadian
Television, BBC, Channel 4 Television, Doordarshan, PBS Now, TF1 French
Channel, ZDF Channel, National Geographic, Discovery Channel and Discovery
Science Channel. Vijay Bedi & his twin brother Ajay Bedi are the youngest
Asians to have won the Green Oscar for their films – The Policing Langur.
Ajay Bedi & Vijay Bedi are also the only Indians to have won a nomination
at the television highest awards at Emmy® Academy of Television Arts &
Sciences. Vijay along with his twin brother Ajay Bedi admits that their
father, the first Indian film maker to win the Green Oscars award (1984),
Naresh Bedi was the man behind their talent and success. Wildlife
photography and film making appears to be an inborn quality with the twin
brothers. Bedi's has won three Green Oscars.
The Secret Life of Frogs was shot over 3 years. Vijay Bedi stationed
himself in a forest for 40 days to document the breeding cycle of the
Purple frog only recently discovered by scientists in the rainforests of
the Western Ghats. He unravels fascinating secrets of the ‘Dancing Frog’, a
frog that breeds without any physical contact, another species that uses
its unique ‘pottery’ skills to build a nest in the swamps of Southern
India. Every creature, he encounters on this journey has a unique story to
tell. The documentary recently won Silver award at Cannes TV awards for
"Best Nature & Environment Film"
I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to join the program and
interact with bedi brothers.
Here I have attached the poster.
