'Bollywood' beckons CSU student

1 JANUARY 2003

A Charles Sturt University (CSU) student will experience the razzle-dazzle of ‘Bollywood’ when she heads to Mumbai, India, in August for work experience in the sub-continent’s filmmaking capital. Ms Zoe Kelly, a theatre/media student at the School of Communication on the Bathurst Campus, won a scholarship to take part in the India Study Abroad Centre’s ‘Film & Media Program’ for four weeks during August-September 2008. Ms Kelly said she was very interested in a career in filmmaking. “When I found out about the film and media program it sounded like such a great opportunity to travel and experience a culture that would challenge and inspire me in many different ways to broaden my perceptions of filmmaking. The idea of experiencing such a foreign culture as well as simultaneously being able to experience the biggest film industry in the world seemed like an incredible way to study abroad. I love the exuberant colours, high-spirited characters and mixture of different genres that ‘Bollywood’ films have to offer, and this is something that I would love to learn more about and experience in the flesh,” she said.
