	Aims & Objectives We look at cinema as the major unifying force of humanity today, converging all human civilization into one focal point. We as 'image-makers' have a big responsibility to fulfill in the new millennium. Today’s world is created, transformed and actualized by IMAGES. What 'MYTHOLOGY' was up to 20th century, it will be 'IMAGOLOGY' which will be the driving force of the new generation. We are like the child who woke up in the middle of the night and cried out: "Turn on the lights...I want to see my dreams."
LONG LIVE CINEMA...LONG LIVE CINEMATOGRAPHY...
