The institute will come up within the Film City in Gautam Budh Nagar, a mega project announced by the state government which will contain studios, film sets, pre and post production facilities etc.
A government spokesperson said that the institute will be set up over a 40-acre plot within the Film City. “Here, training will be provided in various aspects of film and TV production such as directing, production, choreography, editing, screenplay writing and sound recording. One will also be able to learn the nuances of acting,” he said.
The CM said that the Film City would become a new destination for the entertainment industry and it would fulfil the dreams of the youth.
During a review of the action plan for the development of the Film City by the CM on Monday, CBRE, the consultants selected for the development of the Film City, and officials of Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) submitted a report to the CM which had an in-depth study of Infotainment City projects developed in different countries of the world. The CM said that all necessary resources would be made available for the development of the Film City in Uttar Pradesh.
“The Film City, which is going to be developed on 1,000 acres under YEIDA, should include all dimensions related to film, TV and OTT production. Other than this, in view of the golden future of VFX, animation and gaming industry, arrangements should also be made for their development. The establishment of theme-based amusement parks will also give popularity to the Film City as a tourist destination,” the CM said.
He said that reputed filmmakers, directors, studios, technicians of the world should be consulted for the development of the project and efforts should be made to have it ready in time to start shooting here by 2022.
